There's some other options depending on what you're shooting.
It is an interesting gadget, I'm not sure how fast it can refocus for each shot though. It looks like I will have to lodge a claim through PayPal to resolve what appears to be fraudulent behaviour if someone in the supply chain is collecting 10% GST on behalf of the Australian Government on an order for goods which I believe should be exempt from GST. So far, in my querying of this, DR M圜ommerce Ireland Ltd have referred me to Helicon whilst Helicon have referred me to DR M圜ommerce Ireland Ltd a game of ping pong or pass the buck it seems. Yet, they also added a 10% GST charge of Au $27.30. On the DR M圜ommerce Invoice (which shows my Australian Address and is billed in Au$) the Helicon FB is listed as Au $272.99, so clearly the goods are under the Au $1,000 threshold. "The Federal Parliament has passed law that will extend goods and services tax (GST) to low value imports of physical goods imported by consumers from 1 July 2018." “DR M圜ommerce Ireland Ltd” appears to be located in Ireland.Īt the time I placed the order, overseas goods purchased from Australia by an Australian Resident (me), to be delivered to Australia for use in Australia (by me), do not attract an Australian GST amount of 10%, provided the total value of the order is less than Au $1,000.įrom the Australian Tax Office website at:.“Helicon” appears to be located in the Ukraine.I placed an order for the Helicon FB (yet to be delivered) and when I received the Invoice from “DR M圜ommerce Ireland Ltd” I was charged 10% GST on the order.
Just a warning to potential buyers from Australia.
