Labor wants GST for imported goods delayed

Labor wants to delay by a year moves to put GST on items bought from overseas that cost $1000 or less.

The federal opposition believes the government should postpone slapping GST on items bought from overseas that cost $1000 or less.

The Turnbull government wants to introduce the tax on low-value imported goods from July 1.

Shadow Treasurer Chris Bowen supports the change in principle but accused the government of botching the implementation.
