By definition, these are “excess” profits.” https://www.taxfairness.ca/en/resources/reports/taxing-excess-profits-canada-urgent-proposal-action

As NZ workers and households tighten their belts, why not a windfall tax on corporate mega-profits too?

<i>Opinion -</i> As recession looms, some have called for a windfall tax on record corporate profits. But do such taxes actually work? And what is a windfall tax?

RNZ
@rbreich absolutely agree, and the owners of capital have said that a windfall tax wouldn’t impact long term strategies. So why don’t governments go for it?! #windfalltax #excessprofits #Petrolprofits
