Shouldn’t a flat cut in the tax rate do the same thing as a cut in the GST rate. After all, a cut in GST decreases all prices shifting your budget constraint right, a cut in taxes increases income shifting your budget constraint right. Of course all this stuff depends on where the incidence of tax falls etc.

It’ll be interesting to see what they cook up – at least its not like the US 😉

But you’re right I think they will come up with some kind of complicated “rebate” policy rather than just cutting the tax rates or adjusting the brackets.

Ha, I love the term technical, its seems as vague as substantial 🙂 . Do you think technical tax cuts are when you shift the tax brackets to take account of inflation – I wouldn’t mind that.

However, I think they are going to continue complicating the tax code in order to achieve equity goals – or potentially cut GST rates.
