Who charges GST, who doesn’t and why?

Everyone loves a good garage sale. But if you're running one, should you be charging GST on the things you sell? They're all goods, after all. Who actually needs to charge GST? And is there a case for and against taking it off essential household purchases?

In this episode, Susan answers questions about:

• Why does my business pay GST when we’re not registered to collect it?
• Why aren’t we taking GST off our power bills?
• Should New Zealand issue $200, $500 or $1000 notes?
• I want to work overseas. How do I balance interest versus earnings on my student loan?
• Will my bank accept cheese as security on a loan?

If you have a money question you'd like Susan to answer, put it in an email or voice memo, then send it to questions@rnz.co.nz.
