...... is this distributor a wholesaler primarily? or are they a retailer

[bryanlee38]

pay cash and no receipt! damn i have to try that sometime, but wat kind of shops can u do it at? and the hardest thing is how do u bring something like that up?

[int21h]

I was under the impression it is now against the law to display prices minus GST (?) without having any wording it is minus gst

[BigAl]

That is correct, int21h, and has been since GST was introduced.

[GTS-t VSPEC]

Yeah, all Australian websites should provide Inc GST prices, I'd be very pissed if I had ordered something expensive only to have 10% added on.

i know what website ure talking about coz adrian and i saw an item online for a certain price and after goin down to the shop itself it was a couple of hundred dearer. but i have paid cash (no receipt) and ended up saving close to 100 bucks for not paying GST. PM me for name of shop

As per above, they have to include GST, even if a wholesaler.

If you don't like the place, dob them into ACCC, they'll get done for that.

I hate the old "we didn't include GST since we thought you'd pay cash" - with my company car i can't claim unless i have a full tax invoice - I'l had a few "disagreements" over this, most recently with a $500 purchse.

[BigAl]

Duncan, it's illegal to advertise a price ex GST without stating "plus GST" . It is tax evasion to offer a cash price which doesn't include GST. So if they say "we didn't include GST since we thought you'd paty cash" they are guilty of BOTH tax evasion and false advertising. If they piss you off dob them in to ACCC AND ATO!

Yeh, I spoke to both our CFO And GM regarding legality and they both visited the web page and came to the conclusion that it was in breach of both ATO and Trade Practices act laws.

I know the shop involved has staff that visit this site they might wish to inform their boss, wouldn't want them to get busted even if it really pissed me off.

R33 Impul, Send them a politely worded email, saying they should have it fixed within a week or you'll report them:D
