Yeah, the shop's site also mentions that. Some have warranty, some don't. Ifx9200 wrote:Another thing to check is the warranty. Some have "international", some something what the called "Apple warranty set". I am not sure about Apple but for photographic equipment the type of warranty may have a significant impact on the price.
Not true. If they are not a GST registered company it means:zzm9980 wrote:Oh, I found the catch WD:

I'm unsure on this, and the first link that came back via Google (wiki answers) specifically said it didn't include GST.

So if point A and B are true, does that mean there is no GST required to be paid, or the burden lies on the costumer to report and pay it? (Like online sales tax in the US)Strong Eagle wrote:Not true. If they are not a GST registered company it means:zzm9980 wrote:Oh, I found the catch WD:

a) Their annual turnover is under 1 million, and
b) They cannot collect GST because they do not remit it.
Therefore, if they say $100, they cannot add anything to it.
In fact, with the exception of restaurants, any retail operations prices must be the final price, whether or not the GST tax is included or not.
Actually, after I made the original post, I checked out a few more sites and the price is very similar.zzm9980 wrote:I'm unsure on this, and the first link that came back via Google (wiki answers) specifically said it didn't include GST.

I'm surprised then. Grats, looks like you found yourself a deal. The 5S and 5C's prices are slightly higher than equivalent older models, so I wonder if Apple kept the wholesale price the same and just gave the retails that extra margin as room for discounts.Wd40 wrote:Actually, after I made the original post, I checked out a few more sites and the price is very similar.zzm9980 wrote:I'm unsure on this, and the first link that came back via Google (wiki answers) specifically said it didn't include GST.

This is a very popular shop and their prices are with GST and the price is only slightly higher($700) compared to the shop in the original post.
It means no GST. When my company revenues were under 1 million, my clients' invoices for professional services did not include GST.zzm9980 wrote:So if point A and B are true, does that mean there is no GST required to be paid, or the burden lies on the costumer to report and pay it?
