Soon, overseas companies will have to collect goods and services tax at 10 per cent a pop on "online intangibles" or digital goods and hand it over to the Aussie government.

I would expect NZ to follow suit sooner or later.

Lately, I've been using NZ Netflix (there are shows on NZ Netflix which aren't available in the US), but still paying with my US account. And that is unlikely to change especially if they starting charging GST.
