Allan Bullot: GST expert is unsure whether removing GST from fruit and veges is a good idea
A GST expert says it is possible to remove the tax from fruit and veges, but whether it's good policy is another question.
National's Nicola Willis claims it's part of Labour's election tax policy, that's been leaked to her.
Labour won't confirm or deny it.
Deloitte GST specialist Allan Bullot told Mike Hosking we can make rules to do just about anything, but it might not be the best use of resources.
He says the tax working group looked at a number of studies, including from overseas, and found only 30 percent of savings end up in consumers' hands.
