Do prices on your site include GST?
Yes, all prices quoted on our website are inclusive of GST, where applicable. The Australian GST applies to the purchase of both goods & services. The rate of tax, where applicable, is 10%.
GST only applies to domestic travel (including car hire, domestic flights, transport, entertainment & tours) in Australia however there are a few circumstances where domestic air travel is not subject to 10% GST:
- Where the domestic air travel is on the same ticket as international air travel.
- Where the domestic air travel is on a separate ticket to the international air travel and the domestic travel is cross-referenced to the initial travel and the domestic ticket is issued any time up until the commencement of the international travel.
- If you purchase the international air travel from a sales office (airline or travel agent) outside Australia.
