One of Labour's big election promises is to take the 15 percent GST off fresh and frozen fruit and vegetables from April 2024, if re-elected. Here's what it would cover.

I think this is an excellent policy, and a long time coming. This is done overseas with good effect. While I don’t think it’s a magic bullet, it is definitely a step in the right direction.

    Neither of those cases count as processed as per Labour’s release to my understanding.

      How could a reasonable person not consider that processed? In the corn example, it’s completely different from it’s original form.

        It doesn’t matter what you or I consider processed, only how it is defined by the legislation. If it defines it as unprocessed, then it is for the purposes of being zero-rated.
