What a clusterfcuk this govt is. An email from BP gets leaked. Energiser Bunny calls BP to the Parliament to explain. Com com comes out and says no problem, nothing illegal going on here. Naive and inept spring to mind.
Well done Labour for levelling the playing field on GST by adding to all online purchases. Long overdue.
Agree this levels the playing field if applied to all goods, as it should be. But one has to wonder how long Labour will get away with introducing all these extra taxes when they've said they will not introduce any new taxes this term ! They are also flat out backtracking on clear election promises such as doctors fees reducing, scrambling to fill the fiscal hole Steven Joyce told them about
Im not sure what the anomaly is. GST has traditionally been applied for goods and services purchased and enjoyed locally. Now it seems it is being applied to goods purchased off shore and enjoyed locally. Should I now be paying GST on things I purchase overseas when I am on an overseas holiday or travel?
