"
"legislate in haste, repent in leisure."
it could be years if enacted. the UK, India, hong kong all have stamp taxes. india has been talking about rescinding for years. it has never happened."
fyi The Swedish financial transaction tax was a 0.5% financial transaction tax (FTT) applied to equity securities, fixed income securities and financial derivatives between 1984 and 1991.
The current EU-11 FTT is what you call "legislate in haste"?LOL...They have been talking about it for a lifetime and it won't likely see the light before 2015...They took so much time talking about it that it will take years just to cover the cost of those debates on taxpayers( just half joking ...).
And I gave you an example of a FTT which was repealed in haste : France's impot de bourse which was repealed unilaterally within months by Sarkozy...
Capiche now? 2 perfect examples of "legislate in leisure" and "repent in haste".
