Non-resident businesses supplying services and digital products to Australian consumers and who meet the turnover threshold of A$75,000 will need to register for Australian GST by 1 July 2017.

There are two ways non-resident businesses can register for GST:

  • Using the simplified online GST registration system from 26 June 2017;
  • Using the standard system. An Australian business number (ABN) is required and it can take up to 28 days to process the GST registration.
