GST would be the death of the high-street - a lot of companies are charging the same prices here as they do in England (including VAT) and use some excuse as to why we have to pay it here. Who in their right mind would pay English prices (and sometimes higher than English prices) + an extra 5%?!

It's amazing, England has a higher tax than us, Council Tax, VAT, higher cost of fuel but yet it's still considerably cheaper to live there than it is here. 2019 for probable introduction of GST here? Well that gives people plenty of time to pack up and get off this sinking ship.
