Professor Peter Clinch:

I will add one thing. It is also important to look at those taxes. It is important in the tax system also to ensure that it rewards employment and work. The sorts of taxes and charges that arise in other areas such as property and environmental taxes are in areas which are much less damaging to the overall economic performance of the economy. We need to look to those areas as well.
