The federal government is going to present a mini budget by the end of the current month. This announcement has only enhanced people’s worries regarding abrupt changes in taxes.
Instead of presenting a mini budget for the period of only five remaining months of the current financial year, the government should present the regular budget a little early. It can even propose April 1 to be the first day of a fiscal year – as practised in other countries.
