Several lessons can be gleaned from the experiences of New Zealand's implementation of GST. The use of small businesses to collect taxes is not very costly, and it offers several advantages, including the benefit of improved record keeping and business management.

Director liability and tax penalties
Article Abstract:
Corporate directors in Australia may continue to be liable for their company's tax debts. Where once directors were immune from liability once the company no longer existed, the Australian Tax Office is now able to hold directors responsible for tax debts. Additionally, directors who become liable for corporate tax debts may not expunge their liability by declaring bankruptcy.
