Either way for Australia customers Orbx just needs to clarify,
1, despite telling customers GST was included it in-fact wasn’t (which sounds kinda dodgy and tax fraudy to me so I doubt it’s this)
2, when they went to include taxes they forgot to remove the already included GST 10% tax hence now having double taxes applied. (Which would also mean the 10% applied gst tax is actually more like 11% because of the higher base price)
3, Orbx did this knowingly as are pocketing my extra dollarydoos
I can’t speak for other countries but given Orbx is Australian company and I am in Australia Orbx would have been required to declare GST tax when they had income above 75,000. Given Orbx made over 7 million with funding of 12 million or something like that last year they’ve been paying GST for a long long time. So the “base price” at which taxes have been added obviously is the price of already included GST which is why this screams dodgy to all the Australians.
Should taxes be added at checkout.... no. There’s a reason why consumers like to see the full price on store not at checkout.
As Australia we shouldn’t be seeing any change in price at all if what Orbx has said is true hence the confusion.
