Price display heads up

Post by brucesim2003 »

Just a small heads-up for the Matrix crew. On the product page for Battle Academy (and I assume for other games as well) the price is given in the local currency (in this case New Zealand dollars) followed by +tax. That form of display is actually illegal in New Zealand, as the price displayed must include GST.

I don't mean to cause trouble, but I couldn't see any way of contacting the company direct, so I thought a post here would be the next best thing.

Cheers

Hi Bruce

this law applies to New Zealand companies doing business in New Zealand, not to overseas sites where you are importing games from abroad. Its not actually possible to show the full price as until you enter an address the tax can't be calculated.
