income tax you need to pay is $2,700 (8.75%). If you spend $800 a month on
needed goods and services, the GST paid for 5% will be $480 Total=$3,180 in
Tax paid.
In 2007, if after rebates etc and your net taxable income is $60,000, the
income tax you need to pay is $2,600 (8.50%). If you spend $800 a month on
needed goods and services, the GST paid for 7% will be $672 Total=$3,272 in
