The recent news that the Government is pushing the National Tax Summit to October and will not be covering key tax issues such as GST, the proposed carbon tax and the mining tax is worrying.

No doubt the Henry Review will be high on the agenda with its 138 recommendations to improve Australia’s tax system. Although with only an initial four recommendations given the green light when it was released last year, it leaves me in doubt as to what will be the actual outcomes of the Summit and how serious the Government is about tax reform.

The 15^th of March is the ‘Ides of March’, best known for being the date Julius Caesar was assassinated by a band of fellow senators as they feared his ambition would bring down the senate.  Many of these senators were people he trusted.

This auspicious date brings with it a strong theme of loyalty and leadership. As a budding entrepreneur it’s the perfect time to think about what these themes mean to you, especially in your business relationships.
