Submission to the Taxation Issues Paper

ALGA welcomes the Taxation Issues Paper as the first step in the Government’s White Paper on Taxation.

While this submission from ALGA responds to calls for submissions on the Issues Paper it draws heavily on ALGA’s comprehensive submission to the Tax Review undertaken by Dr Ken Henry in 2008-09.

Many of the fundamental issues highlighted at that time remain unchanged and the Productivity Commission’s Report on Local Government Revenue Raising Capacity continues to be the most authoritative work on revenue issues.
