eStore's EOFY sale: one eleventh off almost everything

Business IT - Technology

eStore's running another 'GST free' promotion this weekend.


Presumably eStore's 'GST holiday' worked well in January, because the company's running a similar promotion this weekend.

Among all the other 'end of financial year' offers circulating, eStore.com.au (formerly City Software) is promising across-the-board discounts equivalent to the amount of GST on the normal prices.

CEO Lorenzo Coppa is of the opinion that the end of financial year tends to be a time when many businesses upgrade their equipment. "We've decided to offer Australian businesses the opportunity to get a better deal on technology products this weekend, by offering a discount to the equivalent of the GST on every product sold."

For the pedants: GST is still paid, but on the discounted price.

The offer is made on June 18 and 19 only, and customers must enter FREEGST in the coupon code box at the checkout to get the discount.
