In fact, if you look at the question from a tax standpoint, I would say that the increased revenues of duty free operators, the payroll increase, will enable the federal government to make a net gain through the taxation of corporate and personal earnings.
Furthermore, we're not talking about additional earnings. The idea is really to recover sales that have already been made in foreign countries. Currently, that money is subject to no tax. Consequently, this is revenue to which the government does not have access. By repatriating those sales, we would be increasing turnover. Then we would make our business more competitive. Our competitors are not the domestic markets: they are the duty free stores of foreign airports.
