Is there GST on overseas software subscriptions?



It can be very confusing for us and we do this all day everyday, so if you are not getting those receipts from your client and wondering if there is GST charges on overseas software, I have found a list from https://www.alluviafinancial.com/blog/gst-on-overseas-subscriptions that contains over a hundred software companies, their abn and GST status.


I have taken the liberty to reproduce the list here for Tradies Bookkeeping Staff and Clients and acknowledge the hours of work that has gone into producing this extensive list by Alluvia Financial. Thank you for making this available.


Please note: It's best to log into the account, download the receipt and double check that this information is correct especially since things change all the time.


In saying that companies like Facebook have a GST charge that is not mentioned on their invoices, see below the list for an explanation on how that works.


I will be updating this list on a regular basis and welcome your comments below where the info is incorrect or missing.



So here you have it... in alphabetical order!
