The deets aren't released yet, but smart people will benefit. The cost of electricity will go up, and the flow on costs of everything that uses electricity will go up. The Government plans to compensate you for this, but assuming that you will make no lifestyle changes. So, if you change a couple of things, and reduce your exposure to the tax, you will be overcompensated. |
