While prices in Australia already include the GST all receipts in Australia MUST itemise the GST that has been paid.
For example if a book was $10 plus $1 GST the price would be listed as $11 but the receipt would show that the price was really $10 and the GST was $1.
I have just checked my recent Kobo receipts and for some reason they show $0.00 for the GST. Admittedly the books I purchased were pretty cheap (thanks to the 90% off code) but even on a 66 cent book I should have paid 6 cents GST.
I don't know why that happened as previous receipts (from last year) show the GST at the correct amount.
