The package includes 630 million from a new corporation tax system, 33 million on liquidation, 20 million on irrevocable trusts, 10 million on reduced Becaeetee dividends, 100 million in import taxes on fish and vegetable oils, 82 million windfall taxes on AAA-avoidance, plus 10 million miscellaneous.
