@raymierussell @realtegan @mekkaokereke 2 big advantages of the means testing by increased tax approach:
-
The people who have to fill out the red tape are likely already doing it - it’s 1 additional question in the tax return, and there’s no stigma attached to earning more money.
-
By basing it on income tax, it can be progressive and slowly roll from 100% to 0% as your income increases rather than a hard stop which means that for many people getting a job means less money in their pocket
