Tax experts respond to GST-free fruit and vegetables: 'Populist' and 'stupid'

Labour's GST-free fruit and vegetables tax policy is being widely panned by experts, who say it is betting on voters' ignorance.

A very long and very qualified list of people who think this is a bad idea.

Also, the infamous Jaffa cake lawsuit.

Just one example of working out edge cases costing a fortune.

It would be a better policy to simply lower GST rate than to create and set the precedent of exceptions.
