GST and tax on buying an aircraft in NZ and importing it to Aus

Hi,

I am sure a number of people on this forum have done this and obviously advice here doesn't constitute formal tax advice etc, etc, etc, yadda, yadda, yadda, but...

What happens if I buy an aircraft privately in NZ that has had its GST paid (i.e. it comes to me without me specifically paying GST) and I then import it into Aus as an Aus resident?

Do I get the GST back from NZ and what do I then pay in Aus? Do I just pay GST in Aus or are there aircraft import duties too?

Thanks in advance for any guidance,

David
