The Australian Government aims to limit the nation’s tax-to-GDP ratio to 23.9 per cent. This cap is expected to be reached in 2022-23, although this could occur earlier due to factors such as income tax "bracket creep". Treasurer Scott Morrison has conceded that the Government may have to take action to avert this before 2022-23. He has flagged the possibility of personal income tax cuts in 2018, prior to the next federal election. The tax-to-GDP ratio is projected to be 21.5 per cent in 2016-17.
