Chris Hipkins: Prime Minister fronts to clarify finer details of GST cut plan

Audio

Description

Clarification has come as Labour's new policy to ditch GST from fruits and veggies could be causing a headache for consumers. It's vying to cut the 15 percent sales tax from fresh and frozen fruits and vegetables, if it governs at the next election. Hipkins was asked to front up on the finer details of the plan; whether garlic or processed frozen veggie mixes would get a tax cut. The Prime Minister told Mike Hosking it's for unprocessed ingredients. Hipkins says the finer details will be sorted through but things that have clearly been processed will still have GST. The Prime Minister is also pushing back on criticism of the policy, saying many of those experts were against removing interest from student loans. He says there's still no interest on student loans because it made a practical difference to their lives. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
