how much is gst in nz

In New Zealand, the standard GST (Goods and Services Tax) rate is 15% on most goods and services.

Quick Scoop on NZ GST

• The standard GST rate is 15% and has been at this level since 2010.

• There is a reduced 9% rate that applies to long‑term commercial accommodation (typically hotel stays longer than four weeks).

• Some supplies are taxed at 0% (zero‑rated) , such as exports and certain international services, while others like most residential rent and many financial services are effectively exempt from GST.

For everyday shoppers in NZ, the practical takeaway is that the price you see on shelves almost always already includes 15% GST. Retail prices are generally advertised GST‑inclusive, so you do not need to add it on top at the checkout.
