Compere: Denise Drysdale Duration: 8:-30

Drysdale says with only a few more days until the introduction of the GST, what kind of impact can the small investor expect to find. Bowerman says he is a bit nervous because there is three days until the GST comes in. Drysdale asks why he is nervous. Bowerman says the magazine will come out on Friday and cost $5.50 and on Saturday it will cost $6.00. He says the biggest impact the GST on small investors is going to be on spending. He says the trick is to have a budget. He says understand where it is and by doing this you will be able to find out where the GST is hurting you and where it is helping you. He says the trick is to save the tax cuts. He says with capital gains, it has their own unique tax system. He says from July 1 your income rates come down. He says if you are sitting on a capital gain or a capital loss you might be better off selling your capital loss shares now. He says on the Personal Investor web site they have a calculator, which allows you to work out your superannuation.
Drysdale says for more information call the Financial Planning Association on 1800 626 393.
