With GST in your marketplace,
it is important to compare prices.

Some prices include GST. But
often, it is added later.

Before you buy, look for signs...
or ask. Where GST applies,
know whether it will be added at
the cash register or if GST is
built into the price tag.

GST added, or GST included.
It’s important for you to know
the difference.

If you have other questions about
the GST and prices, the answer is to
call us toll-free Monday to Friday
