@BernardKeane I fail to see how imposing the same tax on imported products as domestic is protectionist. Surely it levels playing field

@YorickPiper not when the cost of collecting the tax is greater than the revenue - then it's a subsidy -
@BernardKeane a tax regime that favors imports over domestic goods is ludicrous and anti-competitive. -
@YorickPiper as is one that wastes taxpayer money discouraging imports

@BernardKeane your vigorous opposition to removing this GST exemption, when you support removing the food and other ones, always seems odd. -
@simonbiddle remove it to the point where it stops raising revenue. what's so hard to understand about that? -
@BernardKeane agreed, it’s a threshold of when it becomes inefficient (I saw modelling show that as ~$100), is not punitive or protectionist

@BernardKeane Pretty simple. Either get rid of GST on local purchases less than $1000 or tax them all the same. Keep the playing field even.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
