GST is currently 12.5%. This will affect Sparkle Hosting bills paid in NZ Dollars from 1 October 2010.</font><br />
<br />
<font color="#333333">It is our aim to be upfront and clear about pricing changes to ensure you understand what is happening to your Sparkle Hosting products and services.</font><br />
<br />
<font color="#333333"><b>What about other price changes?</b></font><br />
<font color="#333333">We do not have any other price changes planned.  Further to this, bills paid in US Dollars will not attract the 15% GST.</font><br />
<br />
<font color="#333333"><b>When will these changes take effect?</b></font><br />
<font color="#333333">The new pricing will apply to all bills from 1 October 2010. GST is applied at the time of invoices in accordance with GST laws.</font><br />
<font color="#333333">Note that invoices:</font><ul><li>Dated 1 October and onwards will include GST charged at the new rate of 15%.</li>
<li>Dated from 1 October for goods or services provided during September will use the new GST rate of 15%.</li>
<li>Dated up to 30 September will include the old GST rate of 12.5%.</li>
</ul><br />
