I'm sure that we can trust the same General Assembly that has raided One Georgia to feed development in metro areas will be quick to be "fair" to rural communities.

The patients will pay the sales tax on those services.<BR/>So, if the services are expemted from the sales tax portion of the Great Tax it will be an expemption for the the patient receiving the services.<BR/><BR/>The Doctor will still have to pay the Income tax portion the the Great tax. That income tax rate at 5.75%, a 1/4% less than the current 6%, will be less the Deduction allowed for property tax as allowed on the Federal Tax Return. This will simply be because there is no property tax.<BR/>So, the Doctor will proably pay more in state and federal income tax as they lose this deduction on their properties. The doctors, who make and spend a lot of money will be subject to the 5.75% sales tax.<BR/><BR/>The larger communities in our state will be against this program as it will allow the money spent by citizens of smaller surrounding communities in the retail centers located in the larger communities to be returned to the community of the spender/taxpayer.<BR/><BR/>This is a good plan. It may need some fine tuning, but it will provide fairness in taxation.Jim Bakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14619565220211943768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14376093.post-1953280718504497922007-10-04T11:54:00.000-04:002007-10-04T11:54:00.000-04:00Maybe that will make it up to the doctors for the ...Maybe that will make it up to the doctors for the fact that "tort reform" did not lower their insurance rates.Tinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16764566800701618387noreply@blogger.com
