Twiggy earned $2 billion last year in dividends alone and paid 15% tax (IMO) after the 30% franking credits or $300 million
If a PAYE person earned $ Billion in a year they would pay $900 million tax; 3 times that.

the shares.
All IMO only and based on current ATO tax rules.
IMO this is why there needs to be a review of the ATO tax code to introduce equity & fairness right acrid the board
irrespective of how an individual earns her/his income.
Its interesting that Labor's proposed abolition of Franking Credits only applied to non tax payers & not to billionaires
such as Twiggy, Reinhart , Palmer etc!
All IMO only and my interpretation of the current Tax Code.
