That this House, noting the disproportionate compliance cost impact the Coalition-Democrat GST deal will have on small retailers:

account the way in which the GST deal puts smaller retailers at a further disadvantage vis-à-vis larger retailers; and

(2) resolves that:

(a) part (a) of the committee's terms of reference should read "the degree of industry concentration within the retailing sector in Australia, with particular reference to the impact of that industry concentration on the ability of small independent retailers to compete fairly in the retail sector both at present and in a post-GST environment";

(b) submissions be invited from parties interested in commenting on the issues raised by the expanded terms of reference; and

(c) the committee's reporting date be extended to 31 October 1999.
