Drawing a treasure map - tax in 5 to 10 years paper

Published on 06 Oct 06 by VICTORIAN DIVISION, THE TAX INSTITUTE

It is said that “if anything in life is constant, it is change”. With this change comes the need to review and renew – and tax is no exception. Economic, social and institutional change both domestic and international, require governments to be vigilant about their tax systems. In this paper we look 5 to 10 years ahead and ask:

• what will be the source of future stresses and strains on the Australian tax system?
• what will be the scope for funding future tax reforms?
• what will be the future direction for the tax mix, tax rates and the taxation of super?
• how are future tax reforms likely to impact on the tax agent of the future?
