+ gst ?

[Naki Rat]

Have I missed comment on this, or are we all missing an obvious 2nd windfall for the government's coffers?

Having just checked a recent vehicle registration receipt I note that all component costs (e.g. licence fee, ACC levy, admin) are totalled and then GST is added. Therefore the proposed ACC levies (at 9.9c/litre on petrol) of $257.58, $511.43 & $745.77 for the three motorcycle classes would actually increase to $289.78, $575.36 & $838.99 with the addition of GST. Except of course for those that are in a position to debit your rego against GST income.

Plus all the other bits we pay at the same time ... ACC is only one component of the registration.

O crap... better start to save...

[Swoop]

There will undoubtedly be an additional "thugby world cup surcharge" added onto that as well.
Ask any ratepayer...

Don't forget the tax on the tax of the tax we pay in our petrol.

It would be interesting to see what the nett value of a shiny new $1 coin would be after a year once it has been subjected to PAYE when earned, GST when spent, ACC levies etc etc. Perhaps I should have paid more attention in Economics at school instead of generally misleading others.

According to my wallet, it's about -25 cents.

For someone on the top tax rate of $0.39:

Earn $1.00 Paye $0.39 Leaves $0.61
Less ACC earner levy $0.017 leaves $0.593
Assume you spend 100% of the remainder and that 20% of this is GST exempt(eg interest on mortage) You pay $0.059 in GST
Leaving you $0.53 out of every $1 you earn.

On top of this some of what you spend on petrol, alcohol, tobacco etc goes to government as tax. Its pretty hard to calculate this as everyone's spend is so different.

I have seen figures that suggest we actually get 40 cents value out of every dollar earned.

Most people end up paying around 50% in tax.

Man - but as Ronin suggests - it seems you come out with a lot less...

Of course once that 40 cents is spent on said tobacco, the shop keeper then pays 12.5% of that on with his GST return... and so it goes on...

And you couldn't get a better case for the "black economy" than that

You obviously weren't joking when you said you didn't listen in Economics
