Well, I guess on the basis of the objection (discrimination) he could not rule in their favour, but clearly on the basis of percentage of profits it is unfair.
It's how I went out of business selling computer parts.
The impact of GST was discriminatory for me because anyone who sold parts bought from Australia and ended up paying GST on profit only because they could claim the GST paid on the purchase.
As I purchased my parts overseas which were GST free, I had to bear the cost of GST on the entire transaction. |
