What types of electrical devices should be tested and tagged? 

Basically everything.  From electrical appliances, extension cords, and other equipment with less than 20 amps current rating, all these need to be tested and tagged. 

Is it illegal for businesses to bypass the routine testing and tagging of electrical equipment? 

Under the Electrical Safety Regulation 2013 and the Queensland WHS laws, all businesses are required to maintain a safe and healthy place of business for employees and occupants. Not abiding by the prescribed test and tag intervals will make a PCBU liable to the applicable agencies. 

Who is allowed to do test and tag services in Mt Gravatt?

Not everyone is legally allowed to perform any type of electrical works, testing and tagging included. Only those with the appropriate electrical licence shall carry out inspection and repair works in electrical systems.
