Cost of beer, spirits, and cigarettes to rise By Phillip Hudson From:Herald Sun July 30, 2011 [url=http://www.bbcode.org/images/lubeck.jpg][/url]  Picture: The Herald Sun SMOKERS will pay 16c-34c more tax for a packet of cigarettes from Monday. Beer and spirit drinkers also face higher prices when the Federal Government's half-yearly rise in "sin" taxes takes effect, the Herald Sun reported. From Monday smokers face a 34c tax increase on a pack of 40 cigarettes. The Government collects $13.79 from every pack, while the 25c tax rise on a pack of 30s will increase the tax man's share to $10.34. There will be a 21c increase on a pack of 25s and 16c on a pack of 20s. A smoker who buys a pack of 30 cigarettes a day will pay $72.38 in tax a week, up $1.75. Beer drinkers will pay 36c more tax on a slab of 24 full-strength 375ml cans and 13c extra on a slab of light beer. A pot (285ml) served in a bar will rise by 1c if it is full strength but will be unchanged if it is light. Spirit drinkers will suffer the biggest tax hit. The rise adds 81c to the price of a slab of 24 cans of pre-mixed spirits, taking the tax man's share to $33.42. A six-pack of pre-mixed spirits will attract 21c more excise, while the tax on a 700ml bottle of spirits jumps by 48c to $19.50 a bottle. Retailers, shopkeepers and bar staff must collect the extra tax but other factors such as competition, business costs and profit margins could mean prices paid by consumers may be more or less than the tax rise and vary between brands. The expected price rises come on top of a 12 per cent increase in the cost of tobacco products in Melbourne in the past 12 months, according to inflation figures released by the Bureau of Statistics. Spirits have risen 3.8 per cent over the past year although the price of beer has been virtually steady. Wine taxes are not affected by the excise changes. The Howard government froze petrol taxes in 2001. Read more: http://www.news.com.au/national/beer-and-smokes-up-as-taxes-kick-in/story-e6frfkvr-1226104688847#ixzz1TXlP0Sip |

maybe we could all ... and by that i mean the taxpaying component of the country ... the ones that keep it all going in reality ... could just have over ALL OUR EARNED MONIES to this awful concocted money grubbing govt
... and then just ask for a meagre handout to then keep US going ... we would keep working cause else the govt wouldn't get any money from anywhere ... but we would just give it all to them ... and ask for a meagre offering to feed, clothe, house, educate our kids etc etc or is that asking TOO MUCH still ... from this money-grubbing tax-crazed revenue-hunting travesty of a govt  |

massive bump to the truest thread since betfair forums began.
Govt spending out of control at all levels hence rising taxes and charges.Wealth destruction via taxes, falling house prices and falling/stagnant super funds. Labor- soon to be re-named "The Titanic Party" |

Unemployment figures came out this morning.
Up to 5.1% which is above market expectations  Around 21,000 jobs lost. Labor taxes are starting to bite the economy - and with a carbon and mining tax still to come. We CANNOT afford more Labor |

By:
Spot on Jez!!!
the juliar policies are starting to take hold.We face a bleak future under the gilliar/brown govt.{ GBG } the world economies look to be in dire straights and likely govt spending will be cut. This will lead to a recession and hence less demand for goods.China may well turns the resources tap down a few notches. Under that scenario aust will turn down savagely.Taxes will punish the workers so badly. The icebergs are appearing for this titanic govt. |

Labor- the pain never ends
Bligh angers lobby groups with $370m slug before election Barry Fitzgerald January 14, 2012 Read later.THE Bligh government in Queensland has angered miners with a $370 million cash grab before the start to the federal government's mining tax. The new charges - including a radical cash-bidding system for coal permits - were announced by the Queensland Treasurer, Andrew Fraser, yesterday as part of efforts to bring the budget back to surplus before the state election. Queensland Resources Council said the charges would hit junior miners most. The chief executive of the lobby group, Michael Roche, said the $370 million in new charges by 2014-15 was ''predicated on a flawed assumption that minerals and energy companies are bottomless cash pits''.

More jobs gone:
Holden will cut up to 140 jobs from its Adelaide car plant in the latest of a series of job losses in the local car industry. And: The Finance Sector Union has confirmed that 560 jobs are set to go at Westpac Bank ... Get ready for the Carbon Tax to hit on 1 July this year. This is the tip of the iceberg. As Europe shakes economically and we start to slowdown.... Gillard Labor are going to introduce the BIGGEST CARBON TAX IN THE WORLD, right here at home in Australia. We need change |

By:
7000 bank jobs to go this year.
heinz closes factory. Labor- the pain never ends. |
|
By:
1 July is getting closer.
As if the world's biggest Carbon Tax here in Australia. I'd suggest everyone think about income protection insurance....because this tax will hurt and hurt hard. Look around, jobs are being lost left, right and centre. Take comfort in the words of Julia Gillard in August 2010: " THERE WILL BE NO CARBON TAX UNDER THE GOVERNMENT I LEAD " |

retail sales growth at 50 year lows, banks to shed 7000 plus jobs, even toyota is talking about closing its operation despite a recent subsidy.House prices continue to fall, albiet it gently.
Its a high possibility banks will raise mortgage rates as their profits are being squeezed and they are profit obsessed bestards. A Gf of mine who works at one of the big 4 told me this week that her branch has changed from moccona to international roast in the tea room . The branch manager told the staff that he has been told to " cut costs'pretty friggin petty but there you go. reality is once the carbon tax comes in and business costs rise the loss of jobs will accelerate. |

QLD to face the highest increase in electricity charges of all the states. 10.7% whacked on just to cover the carbon tax
so glad I sprung for solar panels when the subsidy was on. taxes are destroying middle aust. |

and a national debt that could not then be serviced ... with the interest payments making us beholding to ... the global financial controllers (which is the "big plan" - the one global governance bob saw us heading towards)
... which equals ... they win & bye bye us |
|
By:
I would agree there BAS, it seems strange that at virtually the same time german, USA, aust govt's repeal/reduce solar panel subsidies.
What they all woke up one morning and thought " we'll get rid of solar panel subsidies"? The co-ordination is policy similarities across the board is too often to ignore. |
