Online Sales and Taxes: NZ Retailers Association.



Just a single point in response to the man from the Retailers Association I heard interviewed on the radio ten minutes ago: overseas e-tailers are not receiving a government subsidy via their lower incidence of tax; New Zealand retailers are simply being penalised by government for operating, via the imposition of tax.

The difference in interpretation is the free market, and thus the free, unsurveilled, prosperous society. By arguing for less tax for New Zealand retailers, you would be arguing for freedom and lower prices, a lower cost of living, for consumers; by arguing for higher taxes for your competitors, you are arguing for our continued enslavement, and higher prices, a higher cost of living, for consumers.

Ask yourselves: who do retailers serve - your customers, or bureaucracies?
