I just cant see the carbon tax impacting my business in any dramatic way, but who knows what it will look like come the next election time. Right now, the 1% reduction in small business tax actually means more on the day-to-day from an accounting perspective. And when you're working with small business numbers, those numbers are magnified.
Banks spend a lot on document control, banks pay for this via service charges. My employer just put out the new fee schedule to our clients to cover the cost increase of one of the major input costs to the business plus what they expect to see for rate increases from other businesses that we have to purchase services and materials from. As our director said, its just not adding 6% to the diesel that gets burnt.
You do use commercial banking, do you not? Or are you running it out of cash from your mattress? This tax is cascading and by the sounds of it,very difficult to see what the total cost of it is going to be business, but thinking it won't cost you because you don't directly use transport services is a little comical,if not naive.
