I'm looking at this for an NZ store - where conditions appear to be the same.
But my client (and everyone) automatically thinks GST-inc. All pricing and quotes and stock sheets assume GST.
Some invoices will reverse-calculate the tax portion just before checkout.

I'm not too deep into hacking the UC code yet, but I'm wondering if there is an option to use this tax module in this way?
If not, I guess I'll be reverse-calculating the 'cost price' so that it ends up accurate (but I'm worried about rounding errors).
I was just going to slap a "ALL PRICES GST-INCLUSIVE" on the invoice, but I think I'm expected to have it as a separate line item.

Is the reverse-tax-calculation feature available somewhere I haven't looked yet? Is it in scope?

I'm trying to do the same thing for an Australian website - http://www.arianrhodaromatics.com - where the client wants to list all prices as GST inclusive since most of her customers are Australian, then just take off the GST at the checkout for international purchases.

Does anyone have any thoughts on this?

Well, I believe this module already support this feature. Alternative, try the VAT module: http://drupal.org/project/uc_vat
VAT modeule seems to work better ;)

Hi, to clarify. This module does not lets you do that. the VAT (http://drupal.org/project/uc_vat) module should, but do some serious testing before you mess up with prices, you might end up with a lot of badly set prices and not knowing if they include or not the tax.

Vat module is a bit more flexible in what you can do, I personally prefer GST if it does what I need, it is just simpler, and it just works. But VAT is a great option if you need more control.

Is there any progression on this front? Having store owners enter 59.9545454545 as the sell price instead of 65.95 incl GST is annoying for everybody...

Yes, you want to use the uc_vat module - this will auto calculate the GST as inclusive for you, and automatically show a line item in the invoice. As mentioned by jm.federico - do some testing. uc_vat only worked for me and my products, as I was starting a new cart from scratch. Applying this to existing sites could cause unwanted side effects.
