Why do we need tax reform

The taxation of individuals is a significant source of revenue for the Federal Government, comprising almost half of all income tax receipts. It principally comprises income tax (including capital gains tax (CGT) and Fringe Benefits Tax (FBT). A range of issues relating to the taxation of individuals and the challenges of balancing their competing objectives are canvassed in the Discussion Paper, including the progressivity of the current system, bracket creep, the potential for the tax system to act as a disincentive for workforce participation, and its effect on labour force mobility. From a personal tax perspective, a key focus of the Discussion Paper is on the taxation of domestic savings, which is a contentious area as the current tax arrangements differ between different types of savings. Domestic savings broadly refers to investments.
