Message | The PFR cannot support any of these increases, least of all the removal of local government prerogatives and the raising of the tax rate to such a high level. |
Date | 17:46:48, December 08, 2017 CET | From | Pro-Artanian Coalition | To | Debating the Centrist Economic Policy |
Message | We are only asking companies to give up 20% of their profits. This is by no means, a high number. The average Alorian pays around 35% of their income in income tax alone. This is extremely inequitable and surely 20% will still be a low and attractive rate. Cadfael Wigley Leader of the PAC |
