  1. Big tobacco is back in town as cigarette tax fight lights up Australian politics
    By Henry Belot and Tom McIlroy

    The industry has been pushing for cuts to excise for decades. With the explosion in illegal cigarette sales, those calls have grown louder

  2. 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!

  3. @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.

  11. Great Koala National Park 'dependent' on carbon offsets, but taxpayers will pay 95% of cost

    "The NSW Government says the Great Koala National Park is “dependent” on money from carbon offsets. Media headlines suggests the offsets are “worth hundreds of millions of dollars”."

    "...Over the long term, taxpayers will pay for 95% of the costs of the Great Koala National Park, while carbon offsets will pay for about 5%. Yet the public is told that it is the carbon offsets that are providing the “real money”, the park “depends” on the offsets."

    "Native forests should be protected because of their ecological, environmental and social value. Not because polluters are prepared to throw in some small change." >>

  26. Is Palantir the most ball-breakingly evil, corrupt & ideologically fascist company in the world?

    Answers on a postcard!

    “Exclusive: How Palantir harvested millions in UK tax breaks”

    “The controversial tech firm has won at least £670m in UK public contracts in recent years, which have helped to make the country its second-largest market by revenue after the United States, where it is headquartered. Yet despite accounting for 10% of the company’s global revenue last year, its tax payments in the UK amounted to less than 5% of its total global cash tax spend, according to US filings”

    "The Productive State essay argues that people are facing a “privatisation premium” – essentially a regressive hidden #tax embedded in everyday bills that transfers #wealth from households to #investors. The government is then forced to subsidise inflated costs with #welfare transfers such as housing benefit or support with #energyBills."
