Hi, would like to know why is Anova charging 10%sales Tax for Australian customers. Collection of sales tax or GSTas it is know in Australia is not necessary until the 1 July 2017, as stated by the Finance minister and is illegal to do so?

The Australian units are sold and ship from within Australia. GST applies.
