The Australian Government is committed to limiting overall tax revenue to 23.9 per cent of GDP. Its plan to progressively reduce the company tax rate over 10 years is intended to have no impact on overall tax revenue. As a result, the lower company tax revenue will have to be offset by higher revenue from other taxes. The Grattan Institute warns that this most likely will mean an increase in income tax revenue, which CEO John Daley notes is the only source of tax revenue that increases as a percentage of GDP.
