Should businesses be taxed for the water they use?

Depends on size of business

I agree with both the waterway cleanup and shipping overseas. I think it depends on what the water usage is for and the size of the company using that water.

Yes depending on the amount used

Depends on what the water was used for.

Depending on what they use it for and how much they use

Yes if it is excessive and not fully needed

yes but only big rich businesses because some small businesses/people/workers can't afford the taxes they all ready have to pay

Yes, but these taxes need to be used to protect and clean up waterways in that region

It should depend on the type of business...

Yes and No, either only depending on the amount they actually use and for what

Yes but only in some instances

It depends on what business and how much water their using.

Yes and use the funds to clean up local waterways and improve public water infrastructure.

They should pay for the water they use

Council water meters should be compulsory for business, and the business should pays local government not central government.

Yes is over certain amount of water.

Yes, and use the funds to clean up local waterways. With a higher rate for water being shipped overseas

If they are drawing water from aquifers and then bottling to sell overseas or back to us then yes

Yes if water is necessary for the production of their product

Manufacturing & Sellers of export or local bottled water should be taxed

If water is scarce then yes

As long as it’s sustainable no

Make this policy dependent on how big the business is.

maybe it their own problem but if u lend to god just know he loves u

I don’t taxing actually creates resolutions. Usually someone will get a budget and no real plan will be in place. Things will constantly change which means it’s void money. It will be spent into oblivion on things that make zero real world impact. But I definitely think we should be doing more to work with our environment instead of against it. Humans are dirty.

Depends on what business

Yes if the company is using over a certain amount. Unfair for small businesses while big businesses earn more

Yes they should if they are using large amounts of water

Water is essential for life and a working economy therefore it is a rite not a privilege

I partially support this however am concerned at what tax would be imposed and where the cost pass on would lead to e.g. Inflation

Yes, if they consume over a certain threshold per year

Depends on your business

Depends on how much water is used.

Businesses with significantly high usage should be reviewed.

Only if it is perceive to be above whats deemed necessary

Possibly not?

Only past a certain amount

No, only if they are shipping the water overseas as a product.

Not if water is returned to waterways clean.

Water should be free for everyone

Businesses that are water intensive should yes. (Eg, water bottlers (especially overseas companies) car washers, pools)

Should be charged but not taxed

Yes - proportionate to the amount of water they use that they are not paying for in another way.

We already are

Yes but only large businesses

Yes, unless they supply publicly available infrastructure

Yes, only after a certain amount has been used.

Depends what sort of business

Is there not a better way to encourage careful use of water? Meters for high users like horticulture, eg.
