This recipe is included in the blog post on "Add the Australian GST Tax Rate to Your Membership Site" at Paid Memberships Pro here: https://www.paidmembershipspro.com/add-the-australian-gst-tax-rate-to-your-membership-site/

On December 27, 2022, I updated this to match the fixed/updated fork found here: https://gist.github.com/michaelbeil/9a3a7dd33e273bdeb22fe5827db44b8f

Note the version number for the plugin was not changed. Might be a good idea. We should look into moving this to our "Snippets Library" or making it an official add on.

We are planning general purpose tax handling via a plugin or core PMPro update in the future. So don't want to have too many "official" tax solutions for PMPro out there to maintain and transition.
