In New Zealand, we live under some of the harshest UV radiation on the planet. Yet we pay GST on the one thing that protects us from skin cancer. In Australia, they don't. GST on sunscreen is New Zealand's most cancerous tax. Help us put an end to it...

“Hundreds of Kiwi lose a loved one to skin cancer each and every year. We don’t think a cancerous tax on sunscreen product is right and won’t play a part in it – pledging to remove a 15% “cancerfree tax” on our sunscreen products”

Katey Mandy
RAAIE Founder and CEO

"Removing the GST on sunscreen would lower the cost making it more affordable for New Zealanders to use this highly effective sun protection method”

Dr Bronwen McNoe
Researcher in skin cancer prevention at the University of Otago

Facts

Melanoma poses a significant threat to New Zealanders, with over 350 preventable deaths each year

Sunscreen products have been scientifically proven to prevent Melanoma, yet they have a GST levy.

By 2025, skin cancer will cost the New Zealand health system around $300 million a year – yet the estimated revenue generated in GST from sunscreen sales is only $4.2 million

Raaie has pledged to “remove” GST from their sunscreen products by taking 15% off the retail price until the government removes GST from SPF across the industry. Terms and conditions: Limited time offer.
