This was a benign budget as any election presentation would be.
The state seems to have spared us any significant damage and really what this signals is business as usual.
The problems which gnaw at us, which require tough measures are certainly not going to take centre stage at least for the next 12 months and the exchequer must be prepared to be open fisted with $$$$$$$$.
The probability of many of the measures being operational within the next three months is as always remote due to regulatory impediments.
People don't go rushing to buy hybrids and electric 'quite as yet'.

They won't...not when you still have $1.50/l and $2.70/l fuel.

Annual Personal allowance increased from 60,000 to 72,000 for persons over 60. I would have liked to have seen this done for everyone, but the cost of this would be astronomical.

We at least got Contributions and premiums to approved Deferred Annuities, Pension Plans or TISPs increased from 30,000 to 50,000 per year. So u can at least pay 20,000 less in taxes a year if u save it in these plans instead.

That's not how it works. You get to add an additional $20k on to your allowances which is subtracted from your total taxable pay which is then taxed at 25%. It does not equal $20k less in taxes paid.

*Awaits arrival of E400 Mercs, Lexus h's and other high end hybrids.*

[Country_Bookie]

My bad, it should be that u pay 5k less in taxes if u increase the contribution to TISP by 20k.

Why would I increase my electric bill to charge a hybrid electric though, the average citizen isn't going to rush H/E because its not financially feasible. Just like many are not switching to CNG as the prices of kits have gone up and the promised stations still don't exist

CNG is a pain to install, refill, loss of trunk space and the drive quality isn't that great.

Owning a Prius doesn't have those drawbacks, and persons would surely buy them, seeing as it's only 20K USD for a new one.

[eliteauto]

isn't the CNG plan about 3 years old, every year is ole talk, as for hybrids/electric seems the Min who wants a Gov't bought Tesla is going to get his way
