CAN AN AGENT DELETE THE PRE-PRINTED GST INCLUSIVE REFERENCE AND PUT THAT THE COMMISSION IS GST EXCLUSIVE?
THE VENDOR IS A COMPANY SO THE AGENT MAY NOT BE IN BREACH OF THE new section 53C into the Trade Practices Act AS The following exception to the obligation to quote prices on an “all inclusive” basis will apply when
- Quoting exclusively to bodies corporate.
The obligation to quote all inclusive prices will not apply where the
relevant representation is made exclusively to corporations. For
example, once you know that a customer is a company, it would be legal
to provide them with a quote on a GST exclusive basis (though you must
still, of course, make it clear that this is the basis on which you are
quoting).
