Has Online Shopping come of age?
> Executive summary • Australians spent $15.7 billion in the year to August 2014 buying online from both international and Australian retailers. Online shopping by Australians has increased over time, and is likely to continue doing so. A significant portion of Australian purchases online are from Australian retailers.
> 
> • The low value threshold (LVT) exempts eligible imports below $1,000 in value from a number of Commonwealth legal requirements. One of these exemptions is that goods below $1,000 in value are generally not subject to the goods and services tax (GST).
