The UK-based Donovan describes the first two waves of inflation as transitory inflation for durable goods, and commodity inflation. Donovan says many developed economies are experiencing profit-led inflation in specific sectors of the economy citing the UK milk market as a recent example. "While large companies are often, rightly, criticized for this profit-led inflation, it can just as easily be small businesses. Some have strong, cyclical pricing power so higher demand means higher prices and higher profit margins. Political concerns about profit-led inflation have been gradually increasing in volume on both sides of the Atlantic."

A report prepared on behalf of the Government says high wealth families pay a median effective tax rate of just 8.9%, as they earn significant income from untaxed capital gains. "I repeat again today that I have never favoured taxing the family home, either by way of capital gains or imputed rents. The report notes that capital gains are volatile, which means the effective tax rate of high-wealth families can vary from year to year. The lower return derived from the asset is a cost from the tax system that is not captured in average effective tax rates,” IRD said. It did find that effective tax rates were generally lower than statutory rates, but also that effective rates increased as the net real economic incomes of households increased.

Current policies were encouraging an over-reliance on sequestration from pine forests, which could threaten the gross emission reductions required to stay net-zero beyond 2025. The ETS currently treats gross emissions reductions and forestry sequestration as direct equivalents. This means a lot of pine forests will be planted before it becomes economic for businesses to pursue gross emission reductions.
