Reasons To Disagree

People should not get benefits, the money is stolen from people who earned it and given to people who did not. GST is better than income tax but no tax is better than anything else.

This is crap... its good if you earn 50 grand and over per year.... but 60 percent of workers are on 13.50 ph,, and 200.000 on the dole put the gst to 10 per cent and raise the top tax rate to 60 cents.. I mean J Key did say on TV that rich people don't pay any tax in nz.. maybe we need to abolish trusts as well

Reasons To Agree

No reasons have yet been given to agree with the statement.

Reasons for Remain Neutral

Those things are not all equal because some household expenses (eg. mortgage payments or rent) do not have GST. Also a 2.5% increase in GST is likely to produce a slightly less than 2% one-off inflation change.
