Wholesale sales

For wholesale sales apply the 29% WET rate to the pre-tax sale price then calculate the GST on the WET-inclusive price.

Last updated 10 October 2017

To calculate WET for wholesale sales:

  1. Apply the 29% WET rate to the sale price of the wine (excluding GST).
  2. Calculate the GST on the WET-inclusive price.

If you sell wine by wholesale for a price that includes WET you must show the amount of WET on the invoice given to the buyer.

Example – how to work out the wholesale price

Alison has a winemaking business. She sells grape wine to a bottle shop for $120 a dozen before tax. This is how Alison works out the total wholesale selling price:

1 dozen wine

$120.00

Plus WET @ 29%
($120.00 × (29÷100))

$34.80

Sub-total

$154.80

Plus GST @ 10%
($154.80 × (10÷100))

$15.48

Total wholesale selling price

$170.28

 

End of example

Some wine sellers use commission agents to facilitate their wine sales. Where the agent deducts a fee from the proceeds of sale, this fee doesn't reduce the selling price of the wine.
