Federal Treasurer's Modest Tax Cuts and Hidden Costs
The Government aims to cut income taxes by about £20 million while forecasts show £15 million more revenue from the same sources. The Budget flags subsidies cut totaling £29 million, likely raising the cost of living by about 6s per week. A taxpayer with a dependent wife earning £330 would save but face higher net costs due to subsidy removal, leaving him worse off than before. Critics say Chifley uses apparent tax cuts to win votes while expanding government and defence spending remains low.
