The musician said talent should not be overtaxed because the industry creates more jobs, which at the end of the day means more taxes.
“I am very sure the intention is to maximise tax collection, and this can be achieved by widening the tax base. But this can be achieved by not over taxing talent. You can in fact start by encouraging professionalism in the industry (arts). With this, more jobs are created and more jobs mean more taxes,” he stated.
