Hello guys,
In order to meet new Australian tax requirements, Skype will be required to include Goods and Services Tax (GST) for customers in Australia.

What's changing?

From 1 Ju‍ly 20‍17, online services such as Skype are required to charge the Australian GST rate of 10% on all purchase of Skype paid products.

How does this impact my recurring Skype subscription?

Skype will delay charging you the increased GST until 1 Au‍gust 20‍17 (we will pay the GST for you during the month of July). From 1 Au‍gust 20‍17, the subscription price will change to include the GST rate of 10%.

Example of how a price will change with a GST rate of 10%:
• Before 1 Au‍gust 20‍17, a subscription costs $ 22.60 (no GST is charged).
• After 1 Aug‍ust 20‍17, the same subscription will cost $ 24.86 ($ 22.60 subscription plus $ 2.26 GST at 10%).
