AuthorShare is a method of collecting royalties on the sale of books and other media when the sale is second hand that previously did not incur royalties.[1]
One of the founders of AuthorShare was World of Books.
Australian books and visual art copyright are both administered by Copyright_Agency_Ltd.
Goods and services tax (GST) is charged on the sale of second hand books, including postage and packaging, at the rate of 10%.
A book that may have cost $1 when originally published, may incur a higher second hand price of say $12 when allowing for inflation.
