As a foreign registrar, will I be charged GST?

What is GST?
Goods and Services Tax (GST) is a tax based on the consumption of goods and services and is built into the amounts charged for these items. This tax is currently set at the standard rate of 12.5%. People who are registered for GST must charge and collect this tax on behalf of the Government and pay it to the Inland Revenue Department.

Does NZRS have the right to start charging GST?
NZRS reserves the right to charge GST in the event that NZRS is satisfied that the foreign registrar no longer meet the relevant criteria or if the relevant legislation and/or Inland Revenue Department rulings are amended.
