新税上路? 未来搭乘出租车和Uber 可能需缴 $ 2

Andrews政府上周向维州议会提出立法，针对维州所有搭乘出租车和 Uber 共乘的徵收新的 $ 2 澳币的新税。

儘管在 Daniel Anderws 当选州长前，他承诺过不会添加新的税收扰民。 但事实胜于雄辩，他早已违背了承诺，抛弃了选民。

新税通过后，受影响最大的莫过于医疗或种种不便因素，需常常搭乘出租车或 Uber 共乘的年长者或乘客。

自由党联盟会尝试在议会阻止这一项新税法的通过，Uber 应允许在维州合法营业，而维州民众更不应在现有税制外，另行额外支付新税。

New $2 tax on every taxi and Uber trip

The Andrews Government last week brought legislation to the State Parliament to impose a new $2 tax on all taxi and Uber trips in Victoria.

Before he was elected, Premier Daniel Andrews promised he would not introduce any new taxes. He has now broken that promise.

The tax will especially hurt the elderly and other passengers who need to take taxis or ride sharing frequently, such as to medical appointments or to local shops.

The Liberal Nationals Coalition will try to stop this new tax. Uber should be allowed in Victoria without Victorians being forced to pay this new tax.
