Because the vendor wants to cover his **** just in case there is GST - meaning he is not sure.

But there is still a special condition saying you will wear any GST? If I was your lawyer I would explain the risks and let you make an informed decision. It may be very unlikely that GST doesn't apply, but no guarantee.
