Aspose is a registered Australian business however as a company with customers worldwide we prefer to do business in US Dollars (USD). Since we are a GST registered business we must pay GST on any goods or service provided to an Australian entity and according to ruling GSTR 2001/2 by the Australian Taxation Office, the calculation of tax on a transaction in a foreign currency is perfectly acceptable. We have been operating in this way for many years with many Australian customers without any problems. Learn more about tax issues.
