We will soon be implementing the new GST rate of 15% introduced by the Government. GST is currently 12.5%. This will affect Sparkle Hosting bills paid in NZ Dollars from 1 October 2010.

It is our aim to be upfront and clear about pricing changes to ensure you understand what is happening to your Sparkle Hosting products and services.

What about other price changes?
We do not have any other price changes planned. Further to this, bills paid in US Dollars will not attract the 15% GST.

When will these changes take effect?
The new pricing will apply to all bills from 1 October 2010. GST is applied at the time of invoices in accordance with GST laws.
Note that invoices:
  • Dated 1 October and onwards will include GST charged at the new rate of 15%.
  • Dated from 1 October for goods or services provided during September will use the new GST rate of 15%.
  • Dated up to 30 September will include the old GST rate of 12.5%.
