GST exemption would work says Goff
GST is set to rise to 15% in Thursday’s budget and Labour is exploring the idea of exempting fruit and vegetables from the tax if elected.
But there are questions over how this would work.
Leader Phil Goff appeared with other party leaders on TVNZ’s Q+A programme this morning and said research shows there is a “real health bonus” in excluding healthy foods from the GST.
“The School of Medicine has said very clearly in the last few week that if you do this people will consume more of those goods.”
