The baby formula frenzy at the supermarket put Daigou under the spotlight. As the buying agent, are they paying tax in Australia?
Daigou, who purchase Australian products in bulk for export to China, should register themselves and pay tax in Australia, a chartered accountant suggests.
Brian Ye, from Sydney based finance company ACPower told SBS Mandarin that the business of Daigou is a gray zone.
China does not have any specific regulation that can tax the buying agents.
Meanwhile Daigou in Australia should pay income tax, and even in some cases, should pay GST as well.
