FFS leave GST alone Chippy

[Kenj]

Worth having a look at their reg's: https://www.ato.gov.au/business/gst/in-d...STfreefood

Scenario - At the fish shop order fresh fish (GST free), order it grilled or crumbed/battered, then pay GST on the preparation costs and whatever ingredients fall foul of the GST free threshold. How about the chips, salad or condiments? Or on that note where do pre-prepared salads fall? Cauliflower vs. bags of individual florrets?

As soon as you put exclusions on any taxation it's just asking for someone to game the system. Messy!

yes but just because someone might game the system doesn't seem like a reason to consider not implementing it.

Decisions will have to be made and systems will need to be updated, but I feel like that is going to be a relatively minor factor given the automation involved in most point of sales systems these days.  From a practical POV it has been made to work in Aussie...

Of course, already on Steam Radio there have been mentions of a new Ministry to look after this.

Really??? WTF will that cost?
