Mikka Internet GST policy
As you will be aware, in June 1999, the
Federal Parliament passed legislation introducing a Goods and Services Tax (GST)
a part of a New Tax System which takes effect from 1 July 2000.
Services such as Internet services will be subject to a GST
of 10% when supplied on or after 1 July 2000 to customers (for consumption) in
Australia.
The Introduction of the GST is a complex issue which will involve a number of
changes to our business. As new information comes to light, we will inform our users.
Mikka Internet has conducted a review on the impact of GST and is still
seeking professional advice on GST classification for the various services
and products we offer.
Mikka is aware of the requirements on business outlined by The Australian
Competition and Consumer Commission ("ACCC") and we will pass on any
savings as a result of the tax changes introduced by GST.
Impact on Prices
Althought we expect some savings as a result of the GST introduction, The level of Wholesale
Sales Tax (WST) cost reductions is expected to be
minimal. Any expected potential savings to Mikka Internet from our suppliers will be
negligible.
We therefore do not anticipate that there will be any significant savings gained from
the implementation of the GST which can be passed on to our customers. However,
if savings do eventuate from our suppliers, we will pass on these savings and
price our products accordingly.
We thank you for your support. The team at Mikka Internet. |
