As of 1st July 2017, there are new Australian GST tax rules that will have Envato act as the supplier for AU GST purposes only, and collect this tax on purchases made by Australian buyers.
If you are a buyer and do not reside in Australia, these changes do not apply to you.
- If you are a buyer within Australia, please read the AU GST for buyers article.
- If you are an author please read the AU GST for authors article.
You can read more about the changes at the Australian Taxation Office’s website.
Also, in line with standard business practices, Envato is required to collect and remit GST to the Australian Tax Office, on all buyer and order handling fees charged to Australian Buyers, and author fees charged to Australian Authors
