I buy a fair amount online but have never been charged GST on the shipping component of the purchase but I'm bought some sandpaper from a NZ business and they have charged me GST on shipping (using NZ Couriers) as well as the sandpaper.

 

Is this correct - have they made a mistake?

GST is payable on all Goods and Services, including shipping, no mistake.

 

I'd say how businesses show shipping and its GST component varies from company to company, but the tax treatment is the same, they have a tax liability for the GST component of the shipping costs.
