I will move on to the issue of income tax regarding tax that has come in. We are now talking about over 2.5 million people working here and the increase in taxation as a result. We were informed last week that the number of people who were given PPS numbers in the first 11 months was over 260,000. A large percentage of these people have jobs. Does Mr. Cody believe that despite the economic downturn internationally, we can still maintain that level of taxation from income tax, corporation tax and VAT? What is Mr. Cody's view on 2023 from that perspective? Does he think the economic downturn internationally will affect that?
