Does anyone know if this way of doing it is right? I thought RRP should include GST?
I had another issue a while back buying a 4or 5 litre bottle of Inox, the price on the bottle said 70.00 (not sure of actual price this is just for example) with a little plus sign next to it? I went to pay the 70.00 and the bloke added GST to it, this practice is ILLEGAL, the price on the product must include the GST according to the ATO. I had no hope of getting the bloke to understand this so I paid the extra and left and I won't be going back, his explanation went along the lines of there are all different discounts that their ACCOUNT customers get and it would be too hard to work out?
My argument is I am paying CASH, you do not have to wait for your money I should be getting the best price!
It wil be interesting to hear of others experiences
