So this will come off sounding more like a rant more then anything else but i've been asking for prices for parts quotes etc and increasingly been given quotes without gst from more and more workshops and suppliers.
Now my small brain refuses to do any math that it does not deem critical so I end up getting pissed at the sales person and it does not end well. Esp since the law is pretty clear about this.
No one in sg should be doing this esp when rules are laid out this explicitly (except F&B) !
Price Displayed or Quoted Must Be GST-Inclusive
GST-registered businesses must show GST-inclusive prices on all price displays (e.g. price tags, price lists, advertisements, publicity brochures, website). Prices that are quoted, whether written or verbal, must also be GST-inclusive.
If both GST-inclusive and GST-exclusive prices are displayed, the GST-inclusive price must be at least as prominent as the GST-exclusive price.
Failure to comply with each of these price display requirements is an offence that can result in a fine of up to $5,000.
It is important for the public to know upfront the final price of goods and services that they have to pay.
Exception
An exception is made for businesses in the hotel and food & beverage (F & B) industries only. Due to the imposition of service charge, these businesses may have operational difficulties in displaying GST-inclusive prices. Therefore, they may display GST-exclusive prices for goods and services that are subject to service charge. However, a statement informing customers that prices displayed are subject to GST and service charge must be prominently shown.
Please note that F & B outlets that do not impose a service charge must display GST-inclusive prices as the above concession is not applicable to them.
