Extax ‘raspberry’
PA Wellington The Booksellers’ Association has come out against the National Party’s proposed Extax system. The association’s president, Philip King, said his organisation strongly supported the existing goods and services tax as the fairest and most equitable method of indirect taxation. The association, representing about 500 leading booksellers throughout the
country, believed National’s proposed Extax system would place even greater pressure on retailers, as they would be required to decide whether items they sold were for business or private use. Mr King said he was concerned the National Party was still “waving the Extax flag,” in spite of all the opposition that has come from so many groups within the retail sector.
