Back Off Small Business Rally
Advertisement
We're small business and we're fed up.
Running a small business is hard enough without government constantly changing the rules, and treating us like their piggy bank.
In just twelve months we've put up with announcements like
* 30% minimum tax on trust distributions
* Portable long service leave
* Credit card surcharge ban
* 47% capital gains tax
* Payday super (no exemption for business owners' salaries)
* Increased payroll tax AND lower threshold
Small business owners don’t usually have time to protest, but it's time we stood up and made our politicians pay attention.
I know we’re all usually too busy doing payroll, chasing invoices, filling in forms and serving customers.
But right now both levels of government are making it harder to have a go in this town, and it’s time someone said so on the front lawn.
So they can't ignore us any longer.
Bring your story, bring a sign, and we'll invite the politicians to come out and hear what you have to say. See you there!
