It's definitely been discussed that FMG would benefit from charging itself a tonnage fee for it's own rail network, hence lowering it's profit margin and paying less "super tax".
I'd be interested in what's stopping them from forming a completely separate entity which doesn't specifically do mining, but who runs the rail network and charges the exact same amount as the existing profit margin as a haulage fee.
Hence the mining company ends up making no "super profit" but the haulage company makes a packet!
Surely it can't be that easy - but if the tax only affects companys that pull stuff out of the ground, surely one that just does haulage is not effected.
