FFS leave GST alone Chippy

[king1]

well the big argument against this policy seems to be that it is going to be too difficult to implement, yet the crinkle cut chips example tends to suggest not, a simple rule applied and a verdict given

For the suppliers and sellers, i don't see this as a major issue...

• yes they will have to update their IT systems and database with an extra tickbox to identify the GST free items in inventory - no big deal, there are only so many systems out there
  
• yes, someone will have to go through and tick that box once GST status is confirmed, presumably by the supplier.  
  
• Yes, accounting systems will have to update there software to allow for the GST free items, but that is simply an added 'feature' so no big deal there, they do it all the time...
  

After that, technology will do all the number crunching and spit out the reports as usual.

It will be a problem for the odd food supplier who still writes manual invoices and sells mixed products, that's about it...

From a implementation POV i see this as a non-event... whether it achieves the expected economic benefits promised is another story
