According to a couple articles I’ve reviewed online it appears that the so-called “tax rebate” which is at the focal point of the governments plan is not a reabte at all. In fact, most taxpayers will see their 2009 tax refund reduced by the amount of their rebate. This is certainly not the way that the government is presenting it.
