A report by international tax experts Jack Mintz and Philip Bazel notes that Australia’s company tax rate is currently the fourth-highest among OECD member nations. However, they warn that Australia will be ranked second within two years unless the tax rate is reduced, while the nation risks losing global capital inflows.
