AU Gov Tax changes

[Louwai]

Folks

For your info and circulation to Aussie colleagues.
Please read the attachment...

Point 4 suggests the changes will have no impact on long term expats unless you have a spouse living in Oz with a residence, etc. For those on a short gig overseas, or a family back home, it would appear there is no longer going to be a tax benefit to the assignment (unless you have agreed on a net rate in a high tax rate country, or are in a tax equalization scheme).

Add this to the strong AUD, and going overseas has never looked so unattractive!

Thanks Kevin07 ...

I think what the current australian government is trying to do is entice us to go overseas permanently. All i see is a taxon this and tax on that being planned for "our well being" like the booz tax. I love this country but not sure how much longer i can afford to live here. i wonder when the tax on the air we breath will come in.

The Tax Poem - So true its scary!




Tax his land,
Tax his bed,
Tax the table
At which he's fed.

Tax his tractor,
Tax his mule,
Teach him taxes
Are the rule.

Tax his work,
Tax his pay,
He works for peanuts
Anyway!

Tax his cow,
Tax his goat,
Tax his pants,
Tax his coat,


Tax his ties,
Tax his shirt,
Tax his work,
Tax his dirt.

Tax his tobacco,
Tax his drink,
Tax him if he
Tries to think.

Tax his cigars,
Tax his beers,
If he cries
Tax his tears.

Tax his car,
Tax his gas,
Find other ways
Tax all he has


Then let him know
That you won't be done
Till he has no dough.
And he has no fun

When he screams and hollers;
Then tax him some more,
Tax him till
He's good and sore.

Then tax his coffin,
Tax his grave,
Tax the sod in
Which he's laid.

Put these words
Upon his tomb,
'Taxes drove me
To my doom...'

When he's gone,
Do not relax,
Its time to apply
The inheritance tax.

STILL THINK THIS IS FUNNY?

Not one of these taxes existed 100 years ago, and our nation was one of the most prosperous in the world.

We had absolutely no national debt, had a large middleclass, and Mum stayed home to raise the kids.

What happened?




And don't forget the 10% GST on that!!!!!!!

What a load of bullshit.

So i thort id write my own quick poem


You tax me here,
you tax me there,
you are screwed if i find you anywhere.

In a store or at a bar,
il run you over in my car.

Give us grief an make us

That when your life an headstones done,
No.1 Cunttt will be written on your one.
