Hi guys...

Yes, I am new here, but I have been an adult webmaster for a couple of years now...

Anyway, I went and saw my accountant today to clear up a matter to do with this awful GST shit that Howard has forced upon us. Basically, we as Oz webmasters should POSSIBLY be collecting GST from all Australian surfers that you sell a membership to (to any website). This is not clear-cut unless you are running your own pay site, in which case it would seem certain that you need to collect GST from any Australian members.

As most of my income comes from AVS's, it looks like I have to somehow work out how many members are from Australia so that I can give up some of my income to the Govt.

So, my question is, has anyone else here run into that problem? Any suggestions on how to deal with it?

Thanks!
