He said he would be surprised if the NZ GST exemption dropped to zero.
He expected a relatively quick move on services, perhaps before Christmas, but GST on the purchase of goods overseas was more challenging and would take longer to put in place.
If the Government set the exemption at zero everything would get held up at the border.
"That's a massive inconvenience to consumers. There's got to be an easier way through. I think there is an easier way through we just have to work our way through it."
