I haven't used this benefit myself yet, but I don't think it sounds right that you should be charged GST on anything other than the tax amount, which in this case would be $30?

Was there a booking fee?

No booking fee. The agent by his own admission was doing this for the first time and I just wanted to get it done after being on the phone for over an hour. I’ll follow up.

I am not an accountant but I don't think GST is payable on 'perceived' value of a transaction, only on the 'actual' transaction.

Perhaps there was a transaction in the background between Velocity Frequent Flyer and Virgin Australia, which the OP wasn't a party to but ended up paying GST on.
