greedy australian government reason to quit

1 Reply

the australian federal government has announced it will raise the tax on tobacco on december 1 this year and a further 12.5% every year and this is just federal taxes this does not include the state taxes that get raised every year as well so then every september they will go up by a further 12.5% that places a pack of 50 which is now about $32 per pack up to $48 per pack in 2016

$48 per pack not including state government tax increases

so a possible $55 - $60 per pack

glad ive already quit

cheers
