Me quoted in Fairfax papers on tax haven use
Me quoted by Georgia Wilkins in The Age (and other Fairfax publications) today. John Passant, from the school of political science and international relations, at the Australian National University, said the trend noted by Computershare was further evidence multinationals did not take global regulators seriously. ”US companies are doing this on the hard-nosed basis that any [regulatory] changes that will be made won’t have an impact on their ability to avoid tax,” he said. ”They think it is going to take a long time for the G20 to take action, or that they are just all talk.” (1)

Fringe benefits tax and cars

Posted by John, July 28th, 2013 - under Fringe Benefits Tax, Low paid workers, Not for profit sector, SACS workers.

Given that salary sacrificing for employees in the Not for Profit sector is widespread as a way of compensating for very low wages, many low paid NFP workers will have their real after tax wages cut by the Rudd Labor government’s proposed abolition of the Fringe Benefits Tax statutory method. I have a novel suggestion. Pay low paid workers much more.

Screwing low paid workers: Fringe Benefits Tax and the not-for-profit sector

Posted by John, February 5th, 2013 - under Fringe Benefits Tax, Gillard Government, Gillard Labor, Not for profit sector, SACS workers, Social and Community Sector, Social and Community Service sector, Strikes, Tax, Tax policy, Tax reform, Tax the rich.

To address the Gillard government possibly undermining Fringe Benefits Tax concessions for low paid female and male workers in the Not For Profit sector, maybe it’s time for a real industrial campaign to win massive pay increases and leave the tax fiddling to big business and the rich.
