Changing GST value
With the GST change from 12.5% to 15% occuring on October 1st 2010, you may need to update your GST value in your shopping cart if you charge GST on your products.

If you are not using your shopping cart system to automatically add a seperate GST cost to your products then you will need to manually update the price of any products that will change when GST increases.
