A: nearly as can bs estimated, Finance Minister Abbott said in his budget speech, the tax on "margin- al" earnings-that is the amount that. pushes a worker from one racket to another-should not exceed 20 per cent on each addi- tional dollar above his regular income. This would apply to about 95 per cent. of all taxpayers.
