GST hike to 15%

[Mudfart]

That $20K less GST is $17777 add on 15% GST and you get $20443. So that extra $443 due to GST will take you 18m weeks to pay for. I'm sure you're not going to buy a $20K bike every 18 weeks. So even with your large purchase you are still better off.

no, i dont think they will recalculate sales purchase prices by minusing the original 12.5% gst. They will simply look at the current rrp, )say 20k), and add another 15%gst to it, mark my words. Not the extra 2.5% like they should.
I am the one who told my mates that when you saw lemons for sale in the supermarkets of NZ, it was an indicator the country was fucked.
I am the one who told my mates that now lemons are for sale in supermarkets of NZ, when we see feijoas for sale, the country is really fucked beyond recovery. Both are for sale in NZ supermarkets. Who the fuck doesnt either own or know someone with a lemon tree or a big assed mofo feijoa tree? Its part of being a NZ'er, having these two trees in your backyard. Our own culture is being raped from us by the greedy money grubbers who don't give a stuff about you or your family.

Quote-"It's not the GST increase that is supposed to encourage savings, it's the tax cut that goes with it. "

Yep, but this has all been done before including tax cuts,this is not the first time they have been cut.Didn`t help Savings then. Don`t think your average New Zealander,will have much more in there pocket.Acc Electricity Rates, will all go up more than inflation, if you have do have more in your pocket thats good, but won`t be much..If they they will have more choose thats good.Will have a negative effect on some small retailers. I predict an increase in Price/dealer complaint threads on Kiwibiker already a growing trend. And more distupution from Australia. And a Plus for American online traders. And freight companys. But I guess big picture, all in all, right direction.

So why didn't the same thing happen when GST went from 10% to 12.5%?

Well, I'll put my hand up. Neither lemons nor feijoas grow in this part of New Zealand. So the only way we can get them is from the supermarket.

Same here. If anyone actually believes that the country is fucked beyond recovery simply because we're allowed to buy lemons and feijoas, they have serious mental issues...

And people are moving there in droves, why?

That is unacceptable to IRD.It would mean they claim back an erroneous sum in their GST return.

Plus,when a retailer sets a price point of ,say, $ 9.95 for a product they aren't going to change it to $10.13 are they?

As for the feijoas and lemons,perhaps the people that don't have their own trees ,prefer to sit on their arses smoking dope,watching TV collecting dole,than growing a tree.
Perhaps they are too stupid to grow a tree.

When you told your mates this, did they roll their eyes?

[Mudfart]

nope but jump on the bandwagon anyway. In this part of nz everyone knows some one with these trees or has them themselves. it was a simple predictable observation or soothsaying. it didnt take a genius or a mental patient to see it coming.
but hey lets get personal.

Funny,Last year Australia's 9 Network flew to Auckland,bought the same trolley load of Aussie manufactured supermarket staples from an Aussie owned supermarket chain (Woolworths) as they did in Sydney and flew home.
It cost less,airfares included, than the Sydney groceries did.

Yeah right a bit of selective shopping from those newsbenders on 9

[fuknKIWI]

He's just pissed off that Aussie has GST now and Revin' Krudd will surely put it up in the future.

Is that the best you can do?
