We have 10% GST (Goods and Services Tax) built into everything but there are a lot of hidden import taxes and other taxes in there that are applied long before the product even reaches the retailer.

Online shopping is really hurting local retailers since they cant compete with the pricing people pay buying from the US and other countries.

Cheers
