We Pay Tax What!
Someone commented today that we should not bother to save resources used at work as "our parents pay tax so we must use the money's worth!"
I find that this is a very common mindset amongst people within the organisation and of course I mentioned that wouldn't it be counter productive, if we 'fully utilised' the budget and the government finds that the budget was barely enough and thus decides to raise taxes further?
Of course, the following will be a very narrow spectrum thought of mine where it is assumed that office resources lead to increase and decrease of taxes ( which it obviously isn't)
Naturally, the answer I get is that taxes will not go down if we do not use the resources anyway. While this may be true, and we can do nothing about current tax rates nor hope that tax rates will go down, isn't it possible that if the budget is under utilised then the tax rates will not be increased further? A knife cuts both ways.
Speaking of which, it's time to once again file your income tax and do your due duty as a citizen.
