Should the GST be raised. As a consumption Tax it is the fairest tax possible. The more you consume the more you pay.
Should it raise with corresponding lowering of Income Tax Rates. Lower incomes to gain more (GST Rebates) and higher thresholds for basic Income Tax - Increasing support for elderly low income.
Food and other items would be exempt, such as prescription drugs and I am sure a few more could be added.
Myself I think the Cons have screwed up the Tax system with some useless deductions -Sports for one - Transit for another.
And cutting the GST. Dumb move.
