Tax time again.

Raise the GST once and governments will 'never stop' increasing it
01/07/2020|5min

Once the GST is increased governments will not resist lifting it again and again, according to The Australian’s Adam Creighton.

NSW Treasurer Dominic Perrottet along with former deputy prime minister John Anderson, have called for the government to begin significant tax reform including raising the GST.

Raising the GST could allow states to eliminate state-based taxes like stamp duty and land tax, an idea already flagged by the NSW and Victorian governments.

Mr Creighton told Sky News host Peta Credlin while the NSW government is “right to stress the stamp duty land tax swap,” the broadening and increasing of the GST will be very politically difficult.[/quote]
If there's the slightest talk of the Coalition increasing the GST, it will bring significant electoral consequences at the next election.



Also -
Payroll tax is outrageous -

it makes it more expensive to hire someone
and it's money that can't go into an employees pocket.
It's a form of double tax as the employee has to pay
tax on earnings and an invisible tax as well.
Whenever I had a yearly performance/pay review
the amount of payroll tax was mentioned as a reason
why I couldn't get more salary or
that it was limited to CPI such as 2%.

What I get paid should be none of the state Govts business.
It should be between me and the Federal Govt. tax dept.
I can't claim payroll tax as a deduction.
It's only fair because it rorts everyone not only me.

If we added all the actual and invisible taxes up I
wouldn't be surprised if at least half of what we earn
ends up as tax.

An accountant told me that each business in Victoria
has to pay directly or indirectly 38 taxes.
Example:
We had to pay land tax on owned business property.
That's money that couldn't go in my pocket.

So long as GST is never applied to food, healthcare, housing etc. That would surely spell doom for whomever tries to apply it.

It will be a 20% GST on everything.

Our Govt. is broke especially after Covid-19.
I heard somewhere that the damage to the world's economy is already US$20 trillion.

So, what I thought was a one off, appears to be the norm now.

Group certificates are now sent to the grubberment, not to the worker.

If you want your group cert, you have to log on to myguv and beg for your information.
Only after filling in every bit of invasive and draconian information possible, they will let you see your group cert.

The grubberment now has access to everything about you........everything.

Australia card, that was a dream, now they have Even more information about every cent you earn and spend.
Some grubby little computer system is comparing income to expenditure.
Soon the day will come when you will get a please explain text if you spend a dollar more than you earn.

And forget about blocking myguv text messages.....you cannot.
I have blocked their text 3 times after them sending me pointless and infantile "advice"
And yet, they still can send me text.

Tax will soon be a thing of the past.

You will simply work every day
They will give you an allowance and tax will be whatever they deem appropriate.

We seriously do need a REVOLUTION, please, someone, anyone.

HELP US GET RID OF THIS POX.

My hope is that in time, Islam will be nothing but a bad dream

Yes - it's all on the MyGov website -
even your medical records are all there in the same spot.
It's a bit suspicious that although it's "not allowed"
I'm sure some Govt. Dept can use an over- ride password and see everything about you.
Privacy is long gone.
