  • As a lawyer specialising in family trusts I think the concept of a 30% top rate applying to individuals, companies and trusts makes huge sense. And removing the artifice of 'gifting programmes' by abolishing gift duty will make the whole accounting system for family trusts not only much simpler but more honest. Well done UnitedFuture.

  • Why discriminate against 'employed' persons.

    Now that company's only need pay 30 cents in the dollar tax a top personal income of 30c gives a real level playing field preventing many types of unnecessary tax discrimination issues and freeing people to get on and make money which will boost the economy and productivity(i.e) you could in the future earn more under a 30c rate & not pay more tax - just how it is for companies now!
