Terry Le Suer Refuses To Take GST Off Food.
Terry Le Sueur refused to take GST off the price of food yesterday.
He was bombarded with questions in the States about last week’s introduction of the goods and services tax and the numerous exemptions already in place.
The Senator was asked if he would drop the 3% levy from food, but he stood firm and said he would not be introducing an exemption on food.
He said it would ultimately be up to States Members to decide if they wanted to exempt food, but that should not be considered until the introduction of GST in Jersey is reviewed later this year.
