ANSWER ID:9283

The deferred GST scheme allows an importer to defer payment of GST on all taxable imports into Australia. This scheme has specific eligibility criteria and requires approval from the Australian Taxation Office (ATO). For eligibility and application details, visit the ATO website.

This scheme is typically only available to businesses who lodge monthly activity statements, and it results in the GST on imported goods being deferred from one BAS reporting period to the next.
