The focus has been on compensating the top 500 polluters and individuals who will face increased costs.

He also questions whether changes to income tax has been an opportunity missed. The changes have been made without consideration of a more holistic approach to tax change — something being considered at the tax summit later this year.
One message is clear: your business needs to be prepared for the change.
