Their latest proposal is to drop the GST free amount from $1000 to $20
GST free proposal
I bet the NZ Gov is watching this one closely.
I hope it never sees the light of day..

ajobbins: They reckon it will bring in about $600m in revenue, but cost in excess of $2bn to administer...

bazzer: I don't have any more problem paying GST on imports than I do paying it on goods here. I'd like to think the transaction fees would decrease though.
JimmyH:
- They need to do away with the ridiculous flat-rate biosecurity levy that they charge on top, or at least make it proportional to the risk and value of the package. I do object to paying a $20 biosecurity levy, on top of the $3.75 GST, for my $25 item.
