Configuration of GST for Australian Customers for sales from US to Australia

[Former Member]

Hello SD/FI Folks,

I am new to configuration of Taxes. So please help me out on this one.

My client is a US based company who has customers in Australia as well. As per the Australian goverment policies we are reuqired to charge GST to the Australian customers.

We are using Vertex-O for US and canadian customers. However, this is not used in Australia. I have checked SCN and could not find any satisfactory answer. Could anyone please guide on the step-by-step procedure to include GST in the pricing procedure for only the Australian Customer?

Any help will be much appreciated and rewarded!

Thanks,

MYS.

From my bad memory USA and Canada are part of NAFTA and have some special agreement.  This is why there is normally one big pricing procedure/tax procedure.

In Australia the importer will normally employ an agent who the importer pays import duty and the GST too.  It is impossible for the vendor to do this in the US, as the collector of the tax must be a registered company (ABN) in Australia.
