Clive Palmer has just announced the instant asset write off of $6,500 stays or he wont support the repeal of the Mining Tax…
Without his three Senators the proposed reduction to the instant asset write-off for small businesses will not happen and so this write-off will stay at $6,500… And there will be an immediate write of of $5,000 for cars, and carry back losses will still apply, and the schoolkids bonus stays, and the low income superannuation contribution stays (this is effectively the refund of the 15% contribution tax for those with marginal tax rates less than 15%).
I might like some of these policies (love the low income super contribution and the high instant asset write-off) but when you are spending 10% more than you are making every year, decreasing your revenues by billions of dollars is not wise… But very popular.
Not wise but very popular… That might be a good description of much that goes for tax policy debate…
