Research by Chris Murphy of Independent Economics has concluded that the Australian Government’s proposal to progressively reduce the company tax rate will have significant economic benefits. Murphy has estimated that the "consumer benefit" from the tax cuts will be around $A2.39 for every $A1.00 in forgone revenue. Murphy has also rejected suggestions that the tax cuts will boost the after-tax profits of offshore investors.
