Tax pushes down imports 22nd Aug 2012 Coal Industry
Carbon Tax introduced on July 1 is the most likely cause of a dip in imports for the month of June.
In the latest Sherborne Shipping data 1960 heavy machines, worth about $585 million, were imported to Australia in June. This continued the decline that started in March.
Overall machinery units imported in June decreased by 11 per cent and their value was down 15 per cent.
A total of 223 dump trucks were imported for the month and 16 drilling machines.
Just under a $100million worth of tyres were imported for the month, slightly down on May.
“We believe this decrease reflects the general industry uncertainty surrounding the government’s Carbon Tax,” the update said. “Customers seem to be placing fewer orders until the full effects of the tax are known and their own rising stock levels of equipment are reduced.”Tax pushes down imports
