Options Paper: Making Tax Reform Count

This paper explores alternative ways that revenue raised through reform could be used to strengthen Australia’s economic security and reduce financial stress. This paper outlines four possible options: investing in public and community housing, increasing the tax-free threshold, strengthening working-age income support payments, and addressing the growing problem of unpayable energy debt. Each option represents a different approach to improving economic security and ensuring that the benefits of tax reform flow to those who need them most.
