Lost in the fanfare from Carbon Sunday is that effective tax rates will be increased (now there is a surprise - Not).
Yes the tax free threshold has increased from $6,000 to $18,000 BUT From 18,001 to 37,000 the marginal rate has increased from 15% to 19% From 37,001 to 80,000 the marginal rate has increased from 30% to 32.5% Bottom line about a $35 increase in tax (assuming you earn over $80,000 pa) I thought I heard someone said "only the top 500 big polluters that were going to pay..." |
