Ya, think only F&B exempted from this.

Only f&b and hotel industry that charges service charge as well exempt from showing gst-included price. If they dont charge service charge, have to show gst-included price eg. Fast food restaurants, and hawler centre etc

Yup. If any retail stores don't display inclusive of GST, complain! No complain, no improvement.

Aiya, that Newstead have been notoriously reported many times.

Only kumgongs and those who still dunno their "pattern" will still buy from them.

All prices must be inclusive of gst. Its the law.

Reminder again. If sales person quote you without GST, then when comes to payment add GST, this is not allowed!! Know your consumer rights. Report to IRAS if you encounter such practices.
