Consultation description
This is an open consultation, exploring the proposal for an online sales tax (OST) as a means to rebalance the taxation of the retail sector between online and in-store retail. Questions exist over many areas of any potential OST. These include the different forms an OST could take and how to define an online sale reflecting the range of transaction, delivery, and collection options.
This consultation explores these issues and the potential impacts of an OST to help the government assess the case for and against implementing such a tax.
