Welcome to this week's casual kōrero thread!

This post will be pinned in this community so you can always find it, and will stay for about a week until replaced by the next one.

It's for talking about anything that doesn't justify a full post. For example:

  • Something interesting that happened to you
  • Something humourous that happened to you
  • Something frustrating that happened to you
  • A quick question
  • A request for recommendations
  • Pictures of your pet
  • A picture of a cloud that kind of looks like a hippo
  • Anything else, there are no rules (except the rule)

My assumption is that the govt makes sure big tech are all registered then that gets them 90% of the GST they want.

It's probably difficult to enforce for small vendors even if they clear $60k, but it probably doesn't make too much difference. I'm pretty sure one if the main targets was subscriptions (I seem to recall it being called the Netflix tax).

That makes sense. Maybe I'll give it a go and order it lol. It's somthing that isnt sold here, and even if they do end up putting on GST somewhere along the line, it's not a deal breaker.
