Published on 01 Feb 21 by "TAXATION IN AUSTRALIA" JOURNAL ARTICLE

This article reminds members that one of the main objectives of The Tax Institute is to advocate for improvements to the tax system. The focus that has been given to holistic tax reform since mid-2020 — comprising the series of keynote speaker events, focus sessions, roundtables and The Tax Summit: Project Reform, together with the development of the document The case for change — has been designed to encourage debate on what are the best features of a tax system and to call governments to action. The release of The case for change will be the basis for continuing to pursue the cause of genuine tax reform for the benefit of Australia and for our members and their clients.
