Tax – How Much Does It Influence Your Decisions?
When you think about it, tax is the ultimate in passive
income – right? No wonder the Wellington Commissariat
loves it, so much.
Seriously . . . .
How much does taxation influence your 'business decisions?'
Comrade Commissar Cullen has oft-avowed that he wants
taxation to be even, equitable, whatever, in such a way that
its application does not 'unduly' influence business decisions.
Is he dreaming – in Fantasyland?
An accountant once said to me that tax was never 100 cents
in the dollar, so extra business effort was worthwhile. I have
my doubts, when reward for extra effort is diluted in the
way that it is.
Taxation issues do influence my decisions. I suspect they do
for all PIs. But how much? Does anyone (has anyone?) got to
the point where it's a shrug-and-put-up-with-it matter. I.e.
I'll just go ahead and if I lose a third to the W'gton
woodenheads, that's just the way it is. <deep and long sigh>
