Federal Treasurer Scott Morrison says that reducing tax deductions will not generate sufficient revenue to fund tax reforms. However, the Treasury’s submission to parliament’s economics committee has argued against financing a corporate tax cut via the abolition of tax deductions for corporate debt. This view is shared by the Business Council of Australia and companies such as CSL and Inpex, which have also made submissions to the inquiry.
