GST is a consumption tax (VAT) so no go (unless you tourist claim refund on leaving our shores). 2 possible reasons why 1 shop hit you GST, whilst other not:

1) If cheaper shop is registered for GST (turnover threshold or voluntary), lower selling price nett of GST. Legislation requires gross, GST and nett price to be clearly spelt out on receipt or bill.

2) If same shop is NOT registered for GST, keep within same $2k base price.

So mechanics of price setting. Shop 2) will have to bear the brunt of their costs or purchases with GST ie +7%, which they cannot recover from taxman as input tax.

so i can only negotiate with shop see if they can waive 7% lah right ?
