    Say you, a sole trader, sales is $55M , 10% GST is $5M. Say your profit margin is only 20% of sales excluding gst, thus income is $10M. (Income tax and medicare levy as attached pic. )

    So overall you have $5.3 M in the bank and paid $9.7 M in taxes.

    All your hard work, the government makes more than you!
