Price displays ACCC

1. When prices are advertised or promoted, products and services must clearly display a ‘single price’, which is the minimum total costthat is able to be calculated. This should include: 1. all taxes, duties and extra fees 2. the price of all aspects of the final product and service. From 26 October 2019, the single price should include any optional fees or charges pre-selected during booking or purchase, unless and until you de-select them. The price does not need to include: 1. delivery charges — however, the minimum delivery charge should also be shown in the advertisement 2. optional charges or extras that you have de-selected, left un-selected or otherwise not requested. The single price must be at least as prominent as any other price displayed. This means you should be able to identify the total pricein the advertisement at least as easily as prices for any component parts. Example: the price of an advertised holiday should include all costs, including any airport taxes, and cha
2. Where different multiple prices appear for one product or service, businesses must withdraw those products and services and fix the display or advertisement. There are exceptions when the advertisement states that prices vary in different regions, where a price is entirely hidden by another price, a unit priceis shown, or a price is displayed in an overseas currency. If you choose an item or service that has multiple different prices displayed or advertised and the business can’t withdraw the product or service from sale and fix the error, you are entitled to buy it for the lowest price.
