‘Difficult pill to swallow’: ‘Big hit’ towards Victorian businesses following state budgetVictoria Chamber of Commerce and Industry Chief Executive Paul Guerra says there’s “quite a big hit” across the board in Victoria following the state government handing down its budget on Tuesday. “It’s a bit tough if you’re a medium business, a large business, or a landowner at the moment – you're going to pay more come July 1, and that’s going to be a really difficult pill to swallow for a lot of businesses across the state,” he told Sky News Australia. Mr Guerra said businesses for the next ten years are going to “take a hit” repaying the COVID debt levy, which will result in some choosing not to continue working in Victoria and job losses. “The debt did need to be reduced – sticking it just to business though is not the right approach here,” he said.
