In terms of buying toys/groceries/day to day etc, it really isn't going to make much difference to any family that earns a taxable income. You will be better off. As quoted in a pp the actual difference to the consumer will be 2.2 percent, so $2.22 per hundred dollars spent - not really worth it going nuts in the supermarket etc before tomorrow IMO.

For our family, after mortgage payment our cash in hand per week is slightly under 500 per week, meaning if we spent every single cent each week we would be paying an extra $11.10 in GST, but given the deductions in PAYE we will actually be approx $19 a week better off. Benefits are being adjusted to reflect the 2.2% change so no-one should be worse off.

Of course that is just taking into account that GST and PAYE changes, other very unscrupulous companies will use it as a chance to bump up prices. For example a 50cent stamp would become 51.1 cents with the new GST, so in theory they should be 51 or 52 cents from tomorrow. But NZ Post has taken the chance to bump the price to 60 cents (claiming all sorts of rubbishy reasons for doing so)]]> Thu, 30 Sep 2010 21:12:53 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35994&PID=1166288&title=gst-goes-up-tomorrow#1166288 <![CDATA[GST goes up tomorrow... : I'd go and fill up - another...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35994&PID=1166275&title=gst-goes-up-tomorrow#1166275 Author: lizzle

It's a pain for DH, they have to keep note of what was bought before, and after, to make sure they charge customers at the right price

More paperwork for them, just what DH hates!!!

It is acually true. I did a layby a few weeks ago & was told the GST increase will not effect anything I have put on layby prior to the 1/10/10. I just rung the 0800 customer service number for The Warehouse & was told the same thing. So you have benen misinforming people.

Nope, my email comes courtesy of my local store, the 'my specials' thing is just a onecard gimmick. They take note of what you've bought in the past and tell you when its on special again.

I dont shop online, I like going out and doing the groceries, some weeks its the only time I get out of the house

Quoted from an email I get from my local countdown store

"Below are just a few specials from your local store. See www.myspecials.co.nz for more of your favorite products.

Please note all prices featured are available from 27 September until 3 October 2010 and will not be affected by the change in GST."

Says the same thing about the weekend windback notification I get via Onecard.

It also confirms that all stores close at 10pm except for those that normally close earlier, they'll close at usual time]]> Thu, 30 Sep 2010 13:42:19 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35994&PID=1165811&title=gst-goes-up-tomorrow#1165811 <![CDATA[GST goes up tomorrow... : kellie wrote: jazzy wrote: ...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35994&PID=1165807&title=gst-goes-up-tomorrow#1165807 Author: jazzy

Whoever told you that is wrong - it does apply at the Warehouse, and as someone else said, it's an increase on the WHOLE price, not just what you have left.

Technically it isn't a 2.5% increase as its a 15% increase on the GST exclusive price which actually works out to be a 2.2% increase.

Some retailers are of course using it as an excuse to put the general price of goods and services up.

Saying that they brought it at 12.5% and should sell it at that doesn't make sense though. When they make the sale post October 1 they have to pass the GST from the consumer to the IRD and they have to do it at 15%, so if they were to only deduct 12.5% they'd be out of pocket, wouldn't they?]]> Thu, 30 Sep 2010 11:42:04 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35994&PID=1165682&title=gst-goes-up-tomorrow#1165682 <![CDATA[GST goes up tomorrow... : ohhh yeah.... wheres the forehead...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35994&PID=1165645&title=gst-goes-up-tomorrow#1165645 Author: Babykatnz

Most business can claim the GST they have paid back, it balances off what they recieve from their sales, so even though everyone adds it on along the way, the ex GST figure will remain the same.

If that makes sense! The only people paying more should be the end consumer. (because we dont run our houses like a business and claim the GST back at the end of the financial year)

eek... petrol going up, hadnt thought of that... dammit.

What I've been wondering is the domino effect of gst rises... if each person in the chain of supply adds on their 2.5%, wont it be higher than just 2.5% by the time it reaches us? say for e.g, the producer adds their 2.5%, the transporter does the same, then the retailer... or is my maths just a bit screwy lol]]> Thu, 30 Sep 2010 10:43:18 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35994&PID=1165612&title=gst-goes-up-tomorrow#1165612 <![CDATA[GST goes up tomorrow... : jazzy wrote:Hi ya LR "waves"...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35994&PID=1165602&title=gst-goes-up-tomorrow#1165602 Author: GuestGuest

Hi ya LR "waves"

*Waves back

The thing is they would have bought all of their stock from their suppliers at 12.5% so in a way I think it is unfair for stores with slow moving inventory to hike everything up tomorrow.]]> Thu, 30 Sep 2010 10:36:14 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35994&PID=1165602&title=gst-goes-up-tomorrow#1165602 <![CDATA[GST goes up tomorrow... : we were in Rebel and noticed that...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35994&PID=1165598&title=gst-goes-up-tomorrow#1165598 Author: CrazyCass

we were in Rebel and noticed that lots of the stuff had 2 prices on them, pre Oct1 and Post Oct1... i believe some shops will use this to put prices up more than 2.5%

its not really a massive increase (except for the petrol!) and the tax cuts will supposidly leave everyone better off. i worked out ors and its quite a bit, but we'll try put it into savings instead of spending it

Hi ya LR "waves"

Ok so just rang my locale toyworld & they are not adding the extra gst to laybys & are not adding he extra gst store wide only to a few items....think it is cheaper for some places to absorb the extra gst rather than repricing everything.

Hey Jazz, everywhere is different, they might lock in the 12.5% to get the sale so doesn't hurt to ask. ]]> Thu, 30 Sep 2010 10:17:49 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35994&PID=1165562&title=gst-goes-up-tomorrow#1165562 <![CDATA[GST goes up tomorrow... : that's what I thought but...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35994&PID=1165547&title=gst-goes-up-tomorrow#1165547 Author: jazzy

You won't beat the GST pay rise on Laybys. The retailer retained ownership of the goods until paid in full, thus you pay the price plus GST that applies when the last payment is made.

For small items 2.5% isn't much of a savings. Your better off leaving your $$ in the bank.

If you're in need of a car or planning on buying anything HP ie: TV's etc then you would benefit from getting in before GST goes up.

Don't quote me on this, but I think with laybys they either have to paid off in full by today or they will be subject to the increased GST.
It's only 2.5% which isn't much...especially considering there are such good sales on which generally reduce the RRP by much more.]]> Thu, 30 Sep 2010 10:01:41 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35994&PID=1165540&title=gst-goes-up-tomorrow#1165540 <![CDATA[GST goes up tomorrow... : so I was going to go & do some...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35994&PID=1165532&title=gst-goes-up-tomorrow#1165532 Author: jazzy

so I was going to go & do some xmas shopping tonight & was going to do a layby at toyworld as they are having a sale so I though I would do it before the GST rise...but am I really saving much?
