Important note (as advised in the VCAA Bulletin No. 51 August 2007): From and including 2007, for questions involving the topic 'Budgets', students will not be required to consider GST. This is because to include GST would unduly complicate the task and thus undermine the assessment of the relevant knowledge and skills.
