New Zealand GST could soon be charged on ebooks
Online shoppers could soon be hit with GST (New Zealand Herald)

Quote:
The Prime Minister has warned New Zealanders they could soon be paying GST on online purchases as small as a song download from iTunes.

[...]

GST is not currently charged on imported digital products such as music and film downloaded from services including iTunes. Physical goods bought online and worth less than $400 also usually escape GST.
Edit: New Zealand GST is 15%.
