Committee on Budgetary Oversight

Report of the Commission on Taxation and Welfare: Discussion (Resumed)

Ms Marie Donnelly:

My only comment relates to the point I took most note of when Dr. de Bruin talked about the carbon tax, which is the message that this tax can be regressive but balancing it with welfare measures is progressive. We have seen that now. The fact the carbon tax is ring-fenced to support retrofits and for welfare supports to people and sustainable agriculture is an important message around that tax and brings it into better balance.
