Just days after States Members voted against calls to exempt food and domestic fuel from GST, Deputy Shona Pitman has lodged plans for healthy foods to be exempt from the sales tax, which rises to five per cent next month.
If her plans are accepted by the States, Health Minister Anne Pryke will have three months to compile a list of so-called healthy foods.
Those foods would then be exempt from GST from 1 January next year.
