After 14 year, still have to ask the question is gst included

[legarlu]

Annoying.   GST is here and has been for 14 years, but still when I ask for THE  price of something or just now looking at

a brochure with prices,  it's noted on the bottom of the page + GST.   Should be included.

According to accc.gov.au

"When you present prices to your customers, you must state the total price of the good or service as a single figure, which is the minimum total cost that is able to be calculated. This should include any tax, duty, fee, levy or other additional charges (e.g. GST or airport tax)."

[lurker172602]

and

"If you promote a price that is only part of the total price, the total price must also be displayed at least as prominently as the part price. This means that customers should be able to identify the total price in the advertisement just as easily as prices for all the other aspects."

All retail invoices should show price inclusive of GST but highlight the GST component separately.

All wholesale goods and services invoices should show price separately from GST.
