- Description
A journalist interviews leader of the Labour Party, Phil Goff. He says 'If a CGT (capital gains tax) is so essential, and GST on fruit and vegetables such an evil... how come you didn't notice during your nine years in power?' Phil Goff replies 'We didn't need to!' A little man in the corner quips 'necessity the mother of invention!' Context - Labour plans to introduce a capital gains tax if they win the 2011 election. The capital gains tax is expected to include some low level exemptions for personal assets, as well as an exemption for the family home. But other than those limited exemptions, it is expected to be broad-based and include residential rental houses, rural property, commercial property, shares, businesses and collectibles. (Source: Stuff 8 July 2011) Labour would also scrap GST from fresh fruit and vegetables to encourage healthy eating and help New Zealanders as higher GST on other goods is imposed.
