Abstract: |
On 25 November 2009 the Government introduced legislation into Parliament to introduce a GST refund mechanism for bulky goods exported to Australian External Territories. The legislation will apply from 1 July 2010. The legislation provides that some specific requirements of the new arrangements will be included in regulations. Exposure draft regulations and an exposure draft explanatory statement have been released for public consultation to support the operation of the refund mechanism.
