Google have notified me that they will start billing GST on the "G Suite" service I have. That is a good thing, I guess, as it indicates that Google is going to pay more tax in Australia, or at least collect and pass on more tax.

-------- Forwarded Message --------
Subject: [Important Legal Notice] Your G Suite agreement assignment and 10% GST starting Nov 1
Date:   Tue, 11 Oct 2016 23:13:52 +0000
From:   “Google GSuite Billing” ...

This email is to inform you of important changes to the terms governing your G Suite account ...

With effect on 1 November 2016, SG is assigning your agreement for the G Suite services to Google Australia Pty Ltd. This means that beginning on November 1, Google Australia Pty Ltd will be providing the G Suite services to you and will be invoicing you for those services.
GST:

Google Australia Pty Ltd is required by law to charge 10% GST (Goods and Service Tax) on its services. You will see this charge appear as a new line item on your monthly statements for usage from 1 November 2016 onward.

Please contact your tax advisor if you have any questions regarding the tax consequences of this change.

The assignment should not cause any interruption to your G Suite services. Your payment method will continue to be charged automatically, as in the past.

Sincerely,
*The G Suite Team*
SG
Google Asia Pacific
