New Zealand Shopping
Shopping hours in New Zealand vary a great deal but are generally 9.00am-5.30pm, Monday-Saturday. Most stores in towns and cities are open Sundays for slightly limited hours (usually around 10.00am-4.30pm). Stores catering to tourists are usually open every day, often with extended hours.
New Zealand has a goods and services tax (GST) of 12.5% which is charged on almost all goods and services and is typically included in the displayed price.
