Hello,
I know Australia is introducing a broad Goods and Services Tax (GST) in
July.
I understand this tax will work like the British Value Added Tax (VAT).
I am interested in trying to find out what will happen to the strength of
the Australian dollar immediately after the introduction of the GST.
I can only compare it to the introduction of the GST in Canada in 1991, and
in New Zealand previous to this.
Can anyone tell me what happened to the strength of the Canadian dollar
immediately after Canada introduced the GST in 1991?
Many Thanks
Mark
