FFS leave GST alone Chippy

[king1]

That can be justified in that property rates contribute towards services provided by councils. As GST is a Goods & Services Tax

Rates is essentially property tax that goes to local govt.
Placing tax on a tax makes no sense. Cost of living is getting ridiculous.
If labour want to help households, take the GST off the rates, I would save the best part of $400 per year if that was removed.

rates isn't really a tax , it is a  compulsory payment for council services...
