Just a quote I found of interest this morning from ABC Australia:

"Other countries, including Australia, take GST off fruit and vegetables. In fact, most countries that have a form of GST have carve-outs for certain items, and if anything, New Zealand is currently an outlier."

Not what the various pundits will have you believe. I remember when the change came through in Aus. (I was there), there was a lot of bluff and bluster, but it turned out not to be nearly as difficult in the end.

I can’t believe that the current pay-terminal system, doesn’t have a GST include/not included option select for every item.

This type of system has been working smoothly in Europe fpr 25 years. Technically it’s not a problem.
