Assistant Treasurer Josh Frydenberg is defying the wishes of Liberal Party members in his own state who have expressly called on the Coalition government to "refrain" from charging online shoppers the GST by reopening talk of the idea.

Currently anyone who buys goods costing less than $1000 from overseas websites does not pay the ten per cent in Goods and Services Tax.

Mr Frydenberg placed the issue back on the table on Boxing Day, just days after being named new Assistant Treasurer in Prime Minister Tony Abbott's end of year ministerial reshuffle.

The Victorian Liberal MP said the upcoming tax white paper will take another look at the issue with concerns it's costing Australian jobs.
