super tax myths and facts, page-26

" But after all this only 4% of listed miners will pay tax "

You imply with this, that the tax is insignificant? We should just brush the tax aside? 4%, what's all the fuss about?

Typically, those who wish to mask the really impart of the tax will resort to these sort of comments. KRudd tried it on when he said miners only pay $9B, leaving out the company tax: Typical!

How about you say what % of turnover from total mining sector revenue will be hit with the tax? 70%? 80%? 90%?

4% is the NUMBER of miners, not the % of the tax base.

Cute attempt, NOT.
