In that case, GST and Income Tax et al are not taxes? Just payment for govt. services?
ultimately they are contributing to government services yes, but I think the distinction with rates is that you are paying for specific, tangible, identifiable services... With GST and Income Tax, it just goes into the Govt coffers and divvied up...
Councils are just another taxpaying organisation, they are required to collect and pay GST as does any other organisation.
This world would be a perfect place if it wasn't for the people.
