» Hedwig - GST Starting in Australia 1 July

What advice do you Kiwis have for us Aussies as we get the GST tomorrow?

Our government used your GST as model.

» PhilippaJane - GST.... our history. Australias future..

New Zealand's had GST for a good few years now, but I can recall when it came it, and it was a bit of a shock to all- but in time it's just another tax that you barely notice.
GST here is just on everything, so I think Australia's version is alittle different (something about processed and unprocessed food I think)
All I can say is its traumatic at first... but once you forget you're paying 15% more its fine ! ; )
