In a democracy, you can see exactly how your tax money is spent.
In the interceding years your income taxes would be much higher if not for GST.
If they’re changing tax laws, it’s to end up with more money at the end.
In this case, this is true. Quite obviously the intention is to get more money from companies and less from low income earners.
that extra money? It amounted to about $18/week.
In this case, it’s $3,300 a year - enough to pay the tax on the first $22k of expenditures. It’s right there in the proposal. No one is saying “I support 15% GST in return for a vague hand wavy notion of lower taxes”.
