Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Mar 01, 2009 8:56 pm hi there i am wondering are builders in south australia suppose to include gst in the displayed price ie me and my husband found a house we like and wish to build we were told the display price included everything and was x amount of dollars
we were happy with that and had the price contract etc sent through to find the house had jumped up over $25,000 in price with gst next to it we were quite shocked as the home was in our budget and had now blown out of that budget due to GST so my questions is by law are builders suppose to have gst included in there display price or is it allowed to be a shock horror surprise at the end like that?? thank you in advance to all that comment Re: GST are builders suppose to include this in the price?? ??? 2Mar 01, 2009 10:02 pm I was under the clear understanding that house prices include GST. The prices we were quoted certainly did. I'm sure I read something on the net that re-assured me on this prior to asking the builder, but I can't remember what or where ATM.
