Australia Introduces 'Netflix Tax' On Digital Goods To Parliament

New Treasurer, but same old disappointment.

If legislation introduced by Treasurer Scott Morrison clears Australia’s parliament, digital goods such as e-books, games, apps and subscription streaming services from overseas providers will attract the Goods and Services Tax. It’s been dubbed the “Netflix Tax”, and is expected to raise $350 million for states and territories over the next four years.

Given it’s been found that the big tech and media pay little to no tax (Which tech giants paid no tax in Australia last year? - Finance - iTnews), this thorn-in-the-side of our society has struck again.
