What is New Zealand Goods and Services Tax?

 What is GST?

GST is a tax added to the price of most goods and services, including imports. It is a tax for people who buy and sell goods and services. You might need to register for GST if you sell goods or services. GST is charged at a rate of 15%.

Marketplace tax collection obligation

In general, marketplace facilitator is a platform who contracts with third-party sellers to facilitate the sale of the sellers' products through the marketplace. Alibaba.com is thus deemed to be a marketplace facilitator to promote the sales of third-party sellers through the Alibaba.com online platform.

The marketplace facilitator rules and legislation have shifted the liability for GST collection and remittance from a third-party seller to the marketplace facilitator. As a result, Alibaba.com is responsible for collecting and remitting the GST for goods sold by third party sellers through the online platform to New Zealand where marketplace facilitator rules and legislation are effective.
