Answer #1

The goods and service tax( GST ) in Australia is a value added tax of 10% on most goods and services sale, with some exemptions(such as for certain food, healthcare and housing items) and concessions (including qualifying long term accommodation which is taxed at an effective rate of 5.5%). GST is levied on most transactions in the production process, but is in many cases refunded to all parties in the chain of production other than the final consumer

the tax was introduced by the Howard Government and commenced on 1 July 2000 replacing the various federal wholesale tax system and designed to phase out a number of various State and Territory Government taxes, duties and levies such as banking taxes and stamp duty

An increase of the GST to 15% has been put forward, but is generally lacking in bi-partisan support.
