Sneaky b's
« on: January 03, 2007, 10:01:50 PM »
It's no big deal but after all this time I've noticed on my phone bill that each item (local, STD, mobiles, etc) is GSTed separately and then added up instead of just GSTing the final bill price. The sneaky clever b's gain a cent from the separate rounding which is no skin off my nose but they must make a nice little extra bonus  from this trick when you add up each cent from so many millions of households.

Interesting.... I thought it would have been on the whole amount like at the supermarket checkout.
