How the GST Calculator New Zealand works
New Zealand's GST is 15% and applies to almost everything, with very few exemptions — no carve-outs for food, books or children's clothing. That broad base is what makes it the textbook example of a well-designed consumption tax, and it makes the arithmetic simple.
Not financial advice. Marketplace fees change, and they vary by country, plan and seller status. Every rate here is an editable default, not a quoted price — check the platform's current fee schedule before you price a product against it. This is not tax or business advice.
Frequently asked questions
How do I remove 15% GST?
Divide the inclusive price by 1.15, or multiply by 3 and divide by 23 for the GST itself. A $115 inclusive price contains $15 of GST.
What is exempt from NZ GST?
Very little — financial services, residential rent and donated goods sold by non-profits. Unlike most countries there is no exemption for food or books, which keeps the system unusually simple.
When must I register?
Above NZ$60,000 of turnover in any 12-month period. You can register voluntarily below that to claim input credits, which suits businesses with significant startup costs.
Do overseas sellers charge NZ GST?
Yes, on low-value imported goods at or below NZ$1,000 and on remote services sold to New Zealand consumers, once sales exceed the registration threshold.
