Kogan fined $350,000 for misleading tax time promotion, ordered to pay ACCC’s costs
The tax time promotion the Federal Court ruled misleading in July will cost Kogan $350,000 in fines, the court has now decided.
The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) began court proceedings against the retailer in May last year, alleging it made false and misleading representations when advertising a 2018 tax time discount code.
The court sided with the consumer watchdog, ruling that the 10% off ‘sale’ was misleading because it saw more than 600 products cost the same as, or more than, their pre-promotion price.
