Kiwis to pay more for online shopping from today as overseas retailers made to collect GST in New Zealand

Brian from New Lynn

Offshore retailers selling products in New Zealand costing less than $1000 are now required to collect and pay GST.

The rule applies to businesses selling goods online in the country worth more than $60,000 annually. The changes - announced in June by the Revenue Minister Stuart Nash - are intended to level the playing field for domestic retailers. Mr Nash said all New Zealand businesses had long been required to collect GST, and now offshore retailers would have to as well. Closing the tax loophole is expected to bring in roughly $130 million in revenue each year, by 2022. According to Consumer NZ estimates the changes would mean products under $400 will become more expensive, while those valued between $400 and $1000 would cost consumers a little less.

Warning - reality check contained within.

Last year, we lost a family member to suicide.
It devastated us.
We knew of his troubles. We didn't know how deep they were.
Then we got the phone call.
It changed our family and his friends forever.
This time of year can multiply troubles and hurts.

How much would you pay to fly to Dunedin?

Josephine Franks Reporter from Central Leader

Kia ora neighbours, what's the most you'd pay to fly to Dunedin? A couple of hundred dollars - or a few thousand?

Earlier this week, flights on Jetstar's website were being advertised for between $4000 and $21,000 for the trip.

What do you reckon - is Dunedin worth it?
