A few people have mentioned they might possibly propose a GST raise. Is this actually popular with anyone/voters?
I didn't really pay attention to politics back then, but I remember when John Key raised GST, it wasn't that popular either
@eagleeyedtiger @Ilovethebomb my money's on GST rise. Also possible, that they announce but never implement a Microsoft tax and a proceeds of crime scheme.
They did mention multiple sources of revenue, I suspect digital services will absolutely be one of them. Proceeds of crime, we already have that don't we?
I just can't see GST being popular at all.
@Ilovethebomb I see it as a crap sandwich, you put the gst (actually happening but unpopular) in-between two slices of vague but popular things that never actually evenuate.
Shifting from income to GST effectively means those foreign corporates pay more.
