In Australia GST applies to Goods and Services at the rate of 10%.
Since GST applies to Services it means that it also applies to Shipping.
No tax applies to any goods exported outside Australia.
Tax is always included in the price.
Exceptions exist so if you are unsure visit www.ato.gov.au for more information.
