| 102752 | 2002-12-03 06:26:00 | PC Company are advertising a computer on TV for less than $1000 - as its hook line. Adverts like that annoy me, as we have had GST for many years, and most people have no choice but to pay the GST. BALDY:-) |

| 102753 | 2002-12-03 06:27:00 | Sorry, missed out that it was $999 + GST | Baldy (26) | ||
| 102754 | 2002-12-04 02:25:00 | You will see that lots of them do that. The argument is that some people buy computers for business purposes so can reclaim GST. So they have big type for the price, and a little "Prices do not include GST" in the bottom corner of all the retail advertising. One company which has been consistent and shown GST inclusive prices is the Computer Broker in Christchurch (now computerfutures). |

| 102758 | 2002-12-04 03:54:00 | >Whats GST ? General Sales Tax, introduced c.1987. It's not actually permitted to advertise products or services exclusive of GST to the general public. Because computer related products have tradionally been targeted mailly at the business sector they have been able to advertise GST exclusive because businesses are able to claim the tax back, therefore only paying the advertised price in real terms. I, for one, find this type of advertising to be shonky and won't buy from these companies as a matter of principle. Unless, of course, the price is just too good to miss ;) |

| 102759 | 2002-12-04 04:23:00 | The airline industry is currently being taken to task for this type of advertising - isn't it time the computer industry was given the message as well? It is really confusing when you get some outfits giving the inclusive price and others excluding the grab and snatch tax. andy |
