How to eSign a document: eSignature legitimateness for Payroll Deduction Authorization in Australia

don't know why payroll tax exists in the first place imagine taxing penalizing businesses for employing people I mean it has to be one of the dumbest taxes on the face of the planet you go to the bother of giving someone a job which they pay income tax for anyway the employee they put money into the economy and the government just has to put its hand in the till again and I didn't think it could get any sillier but apparently it does because New South Wales and Victoria are now going to start charging payroll tax on Independent GPS now the way it works at the moment is that someone generally owns a medical center the bricks and mortar shop front they employ the receptionists the nurses and sometimes some staff doctors and the owner of the medical center pays their wages and so they pay payroll tax for them and then GPS who basically operators sole Traders then lease rooms from the medical center out of which they see their patients that's why you can go to one practice and find some doctors who bulk Bill and others who don't but now the revenue officers of New South Wales and Victoria have had the bright idea that they will change they will charge sorry medical centers payroll tax on these independent doctors now the medical centers don't actually employ them full time they're basically contractors and yet the government wants them to pay up now it doesn't take an economist to work out what that will mean you will have to pay more when you go to the doctor so the medical center can cover the extra cost payroll tax is 4.48 in Victoria and 5.45 in New South Wales it's a fair whack and you can hardly expect the doctors or the medical centers to absorb the cost out of the goodness of their own Hearts they're just trying to make it back like the rest of us are let's just rank stupidity the number of bulk billing doctors has been on the slide for some time because fewer medicine graduates are choosing to become gp's and the federal government will they froze the Medicare rebate for the better part of a decade so a doctor's income was effectively going backwards this will discourage even more doctors from bulk billing and increase private Consulting fees Dr Rodney Aziz who is a GP in Melbourne's inner East told the Sydney Morning Herald today that clinics would have to jack up out of pocket fees 15 to 20 dollars to cover the tax hack Professor Charlotte Hesby is the chairwoman of the New South Wales branch of the royal Australian College of general practitioners she also runs a practicing Glebe in Sydney she said her practice was already paying payroll tax for contractors and had to increase fees by twenty dollars to pay the tax as well as higher wages and power bills now going to the doctor is a non-negotiable for a lot of people particularly the elderly who are trying to get by on the pension and here we are in the middle of a cost of living crisis so what do the state governments think they should do make you pay more for medical care this is just cruel and utterly stupid every government bangs on about how they want to reduce the cost of living but what have they done nothing they're actually making the situation worse and they're doing it through things like your power bills as well now emergency departments are already at Breaking Point all over the country and I'll show you a shocking case of how emergency patients are being treated with Caroline Marcus in just a moment so where do the state governments think people who can't afford to go to a GP will go even more people with the flu or chest infection or whatever it might be will clog up EDS because they'll go well that extra twenty dollars is the difference between putting food on the table tonight or making it to rent day so the governments will just create more problems for themselves visits to the doctor are down by 2 million this year in Victoria alone compared to before the pandemic people are reportedly waiting months to go to the doctor and preventing presenting sorry with a Cavalcade of issues because of the cost of living ing to online Health Care directory clean bill the average out of pocket cost of a visit to the doctor is currently about 40 bucks you add another 20 bucks to that and that's a 50 percent increase do you really think people are going to hack that when all these delayed doctors appointments will undoubtedly lead to later diagnosis of things like Cancers and other chronic diseases and where will those people wind up in hospital where the state government will have to pay for them anyway they're simply shooting themselves in the foot now I know Victoria is effectively broken they're jacking up taxes left right and Center but if Daniel Andrews and Chris mins actually care about reducing the cost of living they have to reverse this absurd decision now
