- New Zealand Inland Revenue clarified proposed changes to GST rules on listed services.
- Rules apply to online marketplaces, listing intermediaries, ride-sharing, food and beverage delivery, and short-stay and visitor accommodation services providers.
- Online marketplaces and listing intermediaries can only claim a credit adjustment for flat-rate credits passed onto sellers if they keep a record of the seller’s name, IRD number, and GST registration status.
- Accounting for GST on accommodations can’t exceed seven days after the check-out date.
- Online marketplaces must provide taxable supply information to recipients of listed services within 28 days of the time of supply, with exceptions.
- Accommodation owners using a listing intermediary and making more than NZ$500,000 in annual supplies must notify the listing intermediary regarding their decision to opt out of the marketplace rules.
