Company tax
While Australia would face increasing tax competition from other countries cutting company tax, it was up to the parliament how it responded.
"Since the global financial crisis other governments have been talking about company tax rates as low as 15 to 20 per cent," he said.
"I think you could argue that from a global perspective that is not useful. But that's not the world that we live in. The choice for the parliament is whether to respond. Are we going to say 'no' because we've got other advantages that mean foreign firms want to move here?"
"Some countries for better or worse have decided to have lower corporate tax rates or less enforcement of the existing legislation as a way of attracting more foreign investment. The issue for us is not so much attracting foreign investment to buy the existing assets, it is foreign investors coming in and creating new assets and new jobs and new growth, and that capital is very mobile."
"Australia has lots of advantages and firms come here for a lot of reasons, clearly a skilled workforce and the political system and property rights, and the wonderful places we have to live, but tax is a consideration, and I think it you are uncompetitive in the tax race you will probably get a few less dollars of capital formation from foreign firms in the country.
"It's a choice for the parliament. It's a decision about foreign investment, because dividend imputation makes a tax cut effectively irrelevant for Australian firms". |
