John Arnold<p>_The Evening Post_, 9 December 1924:<br> NELSON NEWS<br> CITY COUNCIL MEETING<br>(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)<br>…<br> Returned soldiers to the number of seventeen, who are earning a living by tomato-growing on land situated in the Wood area of the city, have published a letter signed by all of them, thanking “Mr. H. Atmore, M.P., and those who assisted him,” in the following terms:— “We, the undersigned returned soldier tomato growers, wish to convey to you our very grateful appreciation of your efforts to defeat the system of rating on unimproved values. While recognising that your primary object was for the general good of Nelson by preserving its natural attractions, etc., nevertheless you have done us a great service, for had this new system been carried it would have proved a severe handicap to us, and some of us may have been unable to carry on. We regret exceedingly that we could not assist you at the meeting, but as our life as soldiers or our present occupation does not afford us any experience as public speakers, we hesitated to do so.”<br><a href="https://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/newspapers/EP19241209.2.142" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/news</span><span class="invisible">papers/EP19241209.2.142</span></a><br>Biography in DNZB (interesting reading) <a href="https://teara.govt.nz/en/biographies/4a23/atmore-harry" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">teara.govt.nz/en/biographies/4</span><span class="invisible">a23/atmore-harry</span></a></p><p><a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/OnThisDay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OnThisDay</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/OTD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OTD</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/PapersPast" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PapersPast</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/ReturnedSoldiers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ReturnedSoldiers</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Agriculture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Agriculture</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Horticulture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Horticulture</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Rates" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Rates</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Nelson" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Nelson</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/NewZealand" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NewZealand</span></a></p>

I don't have a problem with that, *but* when you do so, Etsy stops collecting and remitting Canada's <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/GST" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GST</span></a> and/or <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/HST" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HST</span></a> from buyers. It's now Your Problem. However...<br>3. They do not provide a way to let sellers add the taxes to their prices/transactions. You just have to take it out of your item price. Which means...<br>4. Because <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/tax" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>tax</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/rates" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>rates</span></a> vary across Canada, from 5% to 15%, you would have to set your price differently in each <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/province" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>province</span></a> or <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/territory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>territory</span></a> to account for it. But ...<br>5. Etsy does not provide a way to do that. So ...<br>6. You have to add 15% to your prices, charge everyone that, and then back-calculate the "real" item price differently for each province and territory, for every sale. Which is bad enough, but ...<br>7. Etsy does keep collecting the *<a href="https://mindly.social/tags/PST" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PST</span></a>* from buyers in 3 of the provinces. So it effectively charges PST on the GST/HST you've included in the prices. Back-calculating from *that* is more painful. And you're lying about the amount of tax paid on the receipts Etsy generates, which is a *<a href="https://mindly.social/tags/crime" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>crime</span></a>*.</p><p>TL;DR: Etsy makes sales impossibly difficult, and makes you complicit in a crime while doing so. Fun.</p><p>2/x</p>
Bob LeFridge :tinoflag:<p>As times get rough, some people will fall behind on their bills. Queenstown Council has an answer to this. They serve a demand on your bank which duly hands over the money, leaving you with an un-arranged overdraft.</p><p>QLDC have served almost 600 of these demands so far. Apparently no other council in NZ does this. As it inevitably targets poorer people, it seems quite cruel to me.
