29th April 2021 Dear Minister
Corporate Services Scrutiny Panel
Goods and Services Tax - Personal Importation Review
I write to inform you that the Corporate Services Scrutiny Panel has agreed to undertake a review of the proposed changes to the Goods and Services Tax in respect of unaccompanied goods for personal use. Attached to this letter are the Terms of Reference.
The Panel intends to begin its work immediately and will look to hold a series of public hearings with yourself and other relevant stakeholders as well as seeking the views of industry experts and relevant stakeholders to collect evidence and insights under the review's remit. Evidence will be gathered by the Panel from beginning of May to end of July 2021 and the Panel will produce its report by the 17th September 2021.
It has been agreed that I will lead on this review and Connetable Andy Jehan has been co-opted onto the Panel for this review. As I am sure you will be aware Connetable Jehan has a wealth of experience and knowledge from a logistics and operations perspective which the Panel conclude will be extremely beneficial for this review.
The Panel hopes that the evidence gathered, and its reports will help inform the work of Government.
If you have any questions in regard to the Panel's work for this review, please do not hesitate to contact me directly.
Yours sincerely
Senator Steve Pallett
Lead Member for this Review, Corporate Services Scrutiny Panel
