Australia's carbon tax is weeks away. Two in five SMEs are still in the dark on what it means for them.
Software provider MYOB has released several recent findings on SME dissatisfaction with the Government, but here’s one that has particular resonance. Nearly half of all Australian small-to-medium business operators say they don’t understand the full implications of the government’s new carbon tax on their business. Of the 1,043 SMEs surveyed, 42% admitted that they did not understand the significance of the carbon tax well enough. Overall, 54% of respondents claimed they did understand the implications (17% ‘very well’ and 37% ‘quite well’), while the remaining 4% didn’t know.
