Back in your Box!

As featured on the ABC

"Australian companies are pushing for a fresh wave of taxation reform.

The Business Council of Australia has released a new report which shows that the overall number of taxes has increased since the GST was introduced.

The report found governments impose 56 different taxes on Australia companies, compared to just 22 taxes imposed on businesses in the United Kingdom."

I love sophisticated thinking and I especially adore emotive propaganda - especially from our "poor underprivileged" business community.

If you don't like it in Australia - go to the UK see how long you survive there with their "lower" taxation!

I would have thought that their version of GST at 17% would give you pause for a start!

Whenever you compare apples with oranges you get a really dubious result - so Business Council of Australia when you learn to do some real analysis come back and talk to us - until then BACK IN YOUR BOX!
