If the GST threshold is lower but the clearance cost remains the same the overall gain from buying cheap good os would reduce. If a $100 item has $10 GST added plus $80 fixed clearance cost yu have almost doubled the cost. Maybe this is what the local retailers are hoping.

Terry, you make a good point, but if the clearance cost is fixed, all that will happen is that people will just make sure they buy more in one transaction, just as we currently buy less to keep it under the $1,000 threshold.
