My opinion only but if buybacks make sense right now which I agree with, a 2% tax really won't make that much difference
I agree, and the double taxation on dividends is far worse than 2%. My concern however, is like all taxes, they just go up and up and up until the government changes. I haven't seen the fine print on the tax re whether ATH can use their $bazillion in tax losses to shield the 2%.
