Thread: Possum Fur Buyers and Prices

Possum Fur and Skin Prices New Zealand - Basically Bush Possum Hunters

If far canal Horizons regional council hadn't wacked these all around the district we would be in No more income for a few months and they go and nuke the possums. Barstools!! I'm fuming and so are the boys.


Every bloody farm we have trapped is getting poisoned. These bastards came onto the properties with a well written speach implying that its to be done! Well this farm is the only one in the district to tell them GET FUCKED!!

see those guys are saying in there blog that cheques are going to be fazed out. I would imagine that means everyone will need to be gst registered...

That talk has been going on for years and IRD have always been trying to strangle more of our hard earned coin out of us.
Cash deals still happening and will always happen.
Just means the buyers will have to carry a bit of cash, or they will need to do a quick run to the ATM each time a seller comes in with a shopping bag of fur.

yep heard that as well. mid next year infact ,id say buy next year there will be a lot of people having to become gst registered.

Cambo how do they enplane cash with draws from there banks.
There buying so can claim,,were selling and dont pay. money out nothing in.
if ur paying gst ur winning. if your claiming you ante making coin

Easy mate
I used to do a lot of work for Chinese market gardeners and they never wanted to have things on the books. Everything was cash.
Still a lot of tradies doing cash deals here in CHCH as well.

It will still happen or we'd all have to be GST registered now, even if we wanted to sell crap on Trade Me (which the IRD are closely watching as well).

pay ya fuckin tax, I do

I do.....and approx 9 times over when I register, buy RUC's, and fill my truck with diesel.
Not to mention the 3 forms of tax on the income I earn.
Which is all going up faster than increases in income.

Anyway, if you don't earn over 60k you dont need to be GST registered.
