Australian Citizen Tax Sale
Greetings Citizens!
On September 1st, 2017, we are required to begin charging GST (Goods and Services Tax) on certain transactions from Australia in compliance with recent changes in the Australian tax code governing e-commerce. Starting on the 1st, Australian citizens will see a price increase of 10% on digital items purchased through the robertsspaceindustries.com website. This change will not apply to physical merchandise.
Before this happens, in an effort to help our Australian citizens and as we have done previously when the EU implemented VAT, we are offering several of our most wanted ships prior to this change. Additionally, we are pairing these ships with the upcoming five-year insurance that will be available during our annual Anniversary Sale. We offer these ships with this insurance in an effort to prevent Australian Citizens from “missing out” on November’s recurring Anniversary sale due to this recent change in Australian tax code.
To facilitate this sale for our Australian citizens, we have emailed everyone with the relevant mailing address a unique code. Entering that code below will badge your account with the appropriate access for this sale. Each code can only be used once on a single account, and will provide the account holder with one transaction containing these unique SKUs, so please consider any purchase accordingly. If you feel you should be receiving such a code and have not, please check your spam folders and then contact Player Relations if necessary, and they will assist you as they can.
This sale will run from today until midnight UTC on September 1st, 2017 when the new Australian tax mandate goes into effect.
