Treasurer Joe Hockey has signalled that tax reform will be on the agenda for the federal election in 2016. He says the current income tax regime discourages people from earning additional money, with so-called bracket creep likely to push people on the average income onto the second-highest tax rate. Hockey has also urged state governments to support GST reform, although former treasurer Peter Costello says the government is unlikely to gain the support of all states.
