- GST-registered businesses: Can claim the GST as an input tax credit

- Hobby sellers: May not need to register for GST
The calculator doesn’t include GST on fees — add 10% to your fee total if applicable.
International Selling from Australia
Many Aussie sellers target international buyers:
Considerations
- Payment processing: 4% for international orders (vs 3% domestic)
