New Zealand Tax
GST or Goods and Services Tax is applied at the universal rate of 12.5% on almost everything you buy - notable exceptions are house sales, house rentals, privately sold second-hand goods, financial services such as mortgages, loans and investments, and the sale of a business that is capable of being a going concern.
GST should almost always be included in the price you see in shops and advertisements; where it is not, for example in office supply catalogues and quotes by trades people, it should be clearly indicated.
