  1. In 1983-84 "... government introduced a program of six-monthly indexation for all excise rates ... so the Commonwealth's excise revenue would keep pace with inflation.

    "'... excises will [now] rise gradually in line with inflation and as wages and other incomes themselves increase'."

    Rises every six months! Just like wages and other incomes! 🙃

  3. Kerala Excise and police say MDMA inflow has surged over eight years but the source remains unknown. Lack of interstate coordination, small-scale labs and deportation of foreign accused hamper probes. english.mathrubhumi.com/news/k #Kerala #MDMA #DrugTrafficking #Narcotics #Excise

    Trillions? The actual figure for the whole of this administration is around 100 billion - and that's including tariffs, customs / duty, and excise taxes that existed pre-tantrum.

    He's mad judges have correctly ruled that his (limited) authority to levy tariffs in an emergency doesn't just let him do anything and everything he wants, forever.

    Someone please take the phone away from grandpa. He needs to sleep.

  6. CW: CW: #auspol, rubbery figures and bad policy

    My take on #Dutton's #excise cuts. (Granted, my #economics is rusty.)

    #Fuel's generally price inelastic, i.e., cutting excise won't do much to affect consumption. And taxpayers would *lose* 25¢/L in government spending on other services to *save* 25¢/L at the pump. (Taxpayers and fuel consumers aren't precisely identical groups, but bear with me.)

  9. Middle classes lie awake at night imagining UK "not a #tax" hikes in the famous "things can only get worse" October budget

    To be doubled - #'VED, Fuel/booze #excise duty. Big car import levy, stamp duty.

    To be scrapped - capital gain concession on your own home. CG same rate as regular tax. Pension contribution tax concessions. R&D relief. ISA. Bus passes

    Sneaky little earners - airport, passports, driving tests, insurance prescriptions -

    Oh God Oh God - I'm not rich - help I can't sleep
