How does the store handle Australian GST and tax calculations?

GST calculations are automatic and compliant with Australian tax law. The system: applies 10% GST to applicable products, identifies GST-free products (unprocessed food, medical, education), calculates tax on shipping when applicable, handles tax inclusive vs exclusive pricing (your choice), exempts international customers (exports are GST-free), generates tax reports for BAS statements, and provides tax invoices with ABN. You configure once during setup whether prices are GST inclusive or exclusive. For businesses registered for GST, the system clearly shows "includes GST" on invoices. Customers see price breakdown at checkout. Tax reports show: total sales, GST collected, GST-free sales, and export sales - formatted ready for your accountant. The system supports mixed carts (some GST-applicable, some GST-free). For multi-state businesses, we can configure different tax rates though Australia has uniform 10% GST.
