Facilitation of inbound tour operations
  • 16 Mar 2015

    ID Tours New Zealand Limited v The Commissioner of Inland Revenue [2015] NZHC 483

    Citation
    [2015] NZHC 483
    Court
    High Court

    The Court held the appellant was not an agent of the overseas operators but, in its own right, entered into separate contracts with local suppliers and with overseas operators and supplied advisory and on‑the‑ground services that together packaged domestic tourism products sold to non‑residents; those advisory services therefore constituted facilitation of inbound tour operations under s 8(2B)/(2F) and were chargeable to GST, so the appeal is dismissed.
