- GST (Goods and Services Tax) is a 10% tax on most goods and services in Australia; businesses with $75,000+ turnover must register and include GST in prices.
- For consumer sales, displayed prices must include GST and any mandatory, quantifiable charges, per Australian Consumer Law.
- Optional fees (like express shipping) don’t need to be included in the main price but must be clearly disclosed before purchase.
- Dual pricing (ex-GST and inc-GST) is allowed, but the GST-inclusive price must be at least as prominent as the GST-exclusive price.
- B2B pricing can show ex-GST amounts, but consumer advertising must always display the GST-inclusive total.
