If the government raises taxes, it will simply destroy the economy. The business has suffered very large losses as a result of the quarantine and it will take a long time to recover to the level it was previously. The government's task in such circumstances is to help business, not finish it off.
They can raise taxes but it should be properly evaluated, and it should be a justified rate that people in the middle and especially in the lower classes can still live a quality life, that's their job, people have already suffered due to the increasing unemployment rate, they don't want to add more burden to the people.
I think they must focus in Online businesses that can barely received taxation because they are the one who's getting more profit now while saving from taxes just like now me and my family are ordering too many foods and items over online seller but they are not regulated by the laws.
I know that this must be implemented for the reason that government needs income now but this must be according to the deserving businesses .
or better evaluate all the establishments and give necessary increase depend on their profiteering now.
Put taxes to:
- Canned Goods since they are in demand now but for manufacturer only and don't put in consumer as they can at least give a little favor to the much needed
and other businesses near this example.
-
