Part 5/9:
Van Onselen expressed a cautious stance, questioning whether blanket tax cuts are the most effective way to stimulate investment. He argued that these cuts tend to reward past investments rather than incentivize new ones. Instead, he advocated for targeted, time-limited tax breaks specifically for startups—businesses that are more likely to innovate and create new jobs. He also recommended direct tax incentives for new investments, believing these measures would be more efficient and cost-effective in boosting business activity.
