igloo 3 Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 Inevitable isn't it. Do they ever go down? The pols are arguing about it now with tobacco tax seemingly a hot tic. Which should we increase? Tobacco, I say! Link to post Share on other sites

NoFakie 45 Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 I would tax talento at 90%, unless they belong to Yoshimoto or make music for Tsunku or Jonnies, in which case its 99%. There would be regular amnesties for certain cuties however. Link to post Share on other sites

snowbender 3 Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 Looks like consumption tax up to 7 or 8 in a couple of years. Oh well, at least it's not NOW. Link to post Share on other sites
RobBright 35 Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 Still more than half of what it is in the uk though. Link to post Share on other sites

Tubby Beaver 209 Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 I don't know the full picture but you guys over there seem to be blessed with relatively low tax rates across the board. double the population of the UK as well so I guess that helps keep tax down...........doesn't it?

grungy-gonads 54 Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 But double the population means more need for health services and public utitities etc, no? Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 Health service isn't totally tax-funded here though and perhaps less benefits here (or something) than you get in the UK. Utilities is a hard one as both countries are mostly privatised. As far as I'm aware, the NHS is the biggest drain on the public purse Link to post Share on other sites
