South Australia ‘pats’ themselves on back cutting taxes for bulk-billing GPs
Sky News host Caleb Bond says South Australia’s tax relief for doctors is a “pat” on the back for themselves.
“South Australia has come up with an ingenious idea, which is that we will exempt doctors who bulk-bill from having to pay the payroll tax,” Mr Bond said.
“Sure, we all want to incentivize practices to bulk-bill … let’s talk about what this really is, state governments introduced a new tax then they came up with a way for people to not pay that tax and they called it a tax cut.”
