Amazon AWS Amazon AWS Charging Australian GST Tax

Looks like Amazon AWS is starting to charge Australian's GST Tax as well

Hello,

Australia recently changed its tax legislation to impose Goods and Services Tax (“GST”) on electronic services sold by non-resident suppliers. Consequently, effective July 1, 2017, Amazon Web Services, Inc. will be charging GST on cloud services provided to individual (non-business) Australian customers. GST will not be added on cloud services provided to Australian business customers who are GST registered. Amazon Web Services, Inc will charge GST, and issue corresponding tax invoices, on certain Amazon Chime, Amazon Connect, and Snowball services supplied to business and individual customers.

To determine if a customer is a business or individual, Amazon Web Services, Inc. relies upon your provision of a valid Australian Business Number (ABN) if you are GST registered. As such, if you have a valid ABN and are GST registered, please visit our tax settings page ( https://console.aws.amazon.com/billing/home?#/tax/vat ) to enter your ABN for each of your accounts. Provided you have uploaded a valid ABN, Amazon Web Services, Inc. will not apply GST on most future purchases of taxable services under the relevant account.

Please contact us at https://aws.amazon.com/support if you have any questions.

Sincerely,
Amazon Web Services
