The thing that sort of looms on the horizon for a lot of small business people is this Business Activity Statement. You ve, in the last few days, expressed a good deal of sympathy for the difficulty that people say they are having. Not easily, because I get contradictory views. There are a lot of views coming to us from industry organisations. Most of them suggest that there should be some changes.
Anecdotal evidence is very mixed.
My bottom line Jeremy, as I said at the press club yesterday, is that if there remain any lingering concerns then we will want to address those, because this is an implementation issue. We are not talking here about changing the tax system, but we are talking here about implementation and we don t want it to be any more difficult than it need be. Recognising of course that when you have a new system, there are always some adjustment challenges, it doesn t matter what it is. And it was unrealistic to imagine that you could introduce as big a change, introduce a new system like this without there being some adjustments being made. On your point about the inflation, it was a spectacularly good figure.
