Price rules that affect your markup
Australia does not set maximum prices or regulated margins for general goods, so a markup is the seller's own decision. The rules that matter are about how the price is shown.
Section 48 of the Australian Consumer Law requires a business selling to consumers to state, in a prominent way and as a single figure, the total price. The figure must be at least as prominent as any part of the price, and it is the minimum quantifiable amount payable, including compulsory fees and GST, but not optional extras.
Postage is treated separately: it need not be in the single price, but if the minimum delivery charge is known, it must be stated alongside. The rule does not apply to representations made only to companies, which is why trade price lists can show prices without GST.
