  3. Cutting cigarette tax will not create more smokers, Angus Taylor says
    By Jake Evans

    The opposition leader says slashing the tax on a pack of cigarettes by more than $20 will not lead to more smokers, as the cost of illegal cigarettes is already at that price.

  7. Meanwhile at the HMRC;

    Having always been limited to bringing criminal prosecutions against those who clearly intended to evade tax by making dishonest statement about their tax returns;

    Now, the HMRC is looking to expand this to those statements that are 'recklessly' dishonest - moving from intent to those whose actions were so clearly in bad faith that they were intended to 'harm' the HMRC's ability to collect tax owed.

    As you can imagine tax advisers are up in arms!

  8. @Bot4Sale
    Given current media ownership, talk of any #tax changes to benefit the greater part of our society would be mana to news outlets and a heavy stick to wield polies and voters into submission.

    Imo, a better move would be to curtail media ownership concentration combined with a clean sweep of the ABC management. Just these two things could upend the current political mood, public discussions and set the scene for a more progressive agenda.

    You cannot fight the #oligarchy head on, you have to cut its legs off first.

  9. Weird idea to stop #waste, #fraud, and, #abuse of #taxpayer #money.

    If a #corporation's #employees qualify for #government #assistance, the corporation is required to #reimburse the assistance #program for #benefits disbursed, plus an additional percentage to cover the #cost of overhead and collection of money owed.

    This would apply to employees working 30+ hours/week or who work any number of hours while holding multiple jobs.

    I love my neighbors, but my #tax dollars should not be subsidizing #corporate #profit.

    #garyseconomics is correct; if you want low taxes, move to a third world country as that's what happens if you don't collect enough taxes to offer decent services to your people

  11. Big US‑style trucks are killing more pedestrians in Australia – our research proves it

    "We know vehicles on Australian roads are getting progressively bigger: more protective of their own occupants, but potentially more dangerous to those outside them. Here’s what we found:

    every additional 100 kg of vehicle weight was associated with a 6% increase in the odds of pedestrian fatality regulation

    every additional 10 cm of height was associated with an 11% increase in the odds of pedestrian fatality

    utes and US-style pick-up trucks were associated with around 60% higher pedestrian fatality risk than conventional passenger cars

    the relationship was even stronger in lower-speed environments. "

    'You know if #Peters, #Seymour and the #Tax Payers #Union are panting hysterically about any #policy that they claim is the end of the world as we know it ... then whoever is making them clutch their pearls ... and act in a most agitated manner has raised something that the people they represent want strangled at birth.

    These people do not represent "the people" and definitely not fairness and equality, they represent maintaining a system that rewards the owners of #Capital that benefit from #labour and #business #owners being taxed to #subsidize the lack of #capital gains, #land and #inheritance tax that they refuse to pay.

    Calling the #Greens #communists is factually wrong and laughable but the fact they have reacted so #hysterically to the Greens proposed tax #policies, which would force their masters to pay tax (at all) is telling and all fair minded people should support the Greens because of this, otherwise tax #reform in #NZ will not happen.

  14. The move provides fresh evidence of Trump’s intention to transform #GlobalTrade, despite numerous #court challenges & the protests of #US #consumers & businesses that have been stuck with higher #tax bills. Over the past 17 months, the #Trump admin has cycled through #trade #law after trade law as it tries to build a system to shield the US #economy from foreign #competition [it’s called a #FreeMarket, pretty freaking American]

  17. 🧵 Did a quick calculation. My new mileage eco-tax on my EV will cost me over 750GBP a year. That's on top of road tax of which until last year was zero.

    Now. There are important things to unpack in that headline. If I were buying petrol my annual mileage would net the UK govt around 1700GBP so this still makes driving an EV far more economical than driving an Infernal Combustion Engine vehicle.

  18. Bite Size Economics - an aside - a joke:

    A statistician, an economist & an accountant go for a job & are asked to look at the firm's accounts & calculate the interest as a test.

    The statistician returns & says: you made £1,445,988.32 profit...

    The economist returns & says: well I'm pretty sure you *did* make a profit....

    Before the accountant leaves they ask the panel: first, let me check; do you want to make a profit?

    'Hopetown by Simon Wilson
    'The case for #voting Green
    'I’m not a member of the Green #Party, but they're getting my #vote. Here’s why. ...

    'THE GREENS HAVE two core messages. They’re both simple enough to express, but they can be difficult to explain.

    'The first is that we have to change. We’re living beyond what’s called “#planetary boundaries”, which is a way of saying we are using up #Earth’s finite #resources, destroying #biodiversity and making the #planet inhospitable to life.

    'There’s no “fix the economy and then we’ll sort out the planet”. The way we’re “fixing the economy” is the problem...

    'The second message is that the problems we face have a common cause. It’s the super-rich. Not “people who are well off”, but a tiny #elite: #Elon #Musk and all who travel with him, the #tycoons of the #fossil-fuel #industry, the #financiers who enable them. They have created the #climate crisis, the menaces of social #media, the funnel that sucks #wealth upwards even while they pretend it trickles down.

    'The #oligarchs and #techbros are not trying to solve the #world’s problems, although they have the resources to do so. They’re causing them so they can make #money from them.'

    'Green policies turn those core messages into action plans. #Energy reform, to leave fossil fuels in the ground and introduce rooftop #solar with #batteries at massive scale. Urban networks of #electrified public #transport, #cycling and walking that are so frequent, reliable, safe and cheap they offer genuinely better #travel options for many people much of the time. #Conservation strategies to clean up our #waterways. A proper commitment to social #housing.

    'And tax #reform, targeting the super-rich and offering a #tax cut to 96% of us...'
