And the Government is still happy to tax the stuff
... I reckon it would make more sense to not tax the means of production and focus the tax gathering at the "profit" end of things
.. why not do it this way
.
Does a recognition... that the big guys somehow only make a profit if they want to bump the share price and exercise a stock option... prevent the focus of taxing profit.
I am not sure of the taxes but I think it is 40 cents a litre excise and 10% GST.. so we have a tax on a tax..inequitable and cumbersome to profits I suggest.
Still I am OK Jack...I have my gear and although not flash am very happy to have anything at all...until the opperation effects (hernia last week) are over I wont be travelling or viewing I guess.
And the gear is now more affordable ..look at DLSR's ...I paid over 2k for a 300d and look what 1k will now get (or close to that figure)...
When I started the cheapest 16 inch I could source was $6000 and I noted a second hand one here on offer for $1500.. so you gotta look for the upside...
