THIS ACCI-ACOSS TAX SUMMIT WAS THE UNFORTUNATE BIRTH OF THE GST

The late-1996 tax summit was followed by the 1998 Bill “A New Tax System” (ANTS), confirming a federal tax on our goods and services was on the way.

🙁

I wonder why the response to Australia’s Future Tax System (the Henry Tax Review) hasn’t been as rapid.

Maybe too many rent seekers preferring we tax our incomes and purchases to the hilt, instead?

Rent-seekers? Huh? Who? Wha ..?
