Kogan Cops $350,000 Fine For ‘Fake’ Tax Time Discounts| Canstar Blue
Online retailer Kogan has been fined $350,000, for making false and misleading representations about tax time deals on its website, according to the consumer watchdog (ACCC).
The Federal Court found that in June 2018, Kogan had misled consumers by advertising over a period of four days (27-30 June) that they could redeem a 10% discount at checkout, using the code ‘TAXTIME’. Although it had hiked up prices on more than 600 products before the sale.
The Court found that in most instances, Kogan had increased prices by at least 10% before the tax time ‘promotion’ started, then decreased those prices after the sale ended, making any advertised discounts essentially bogus.
