Description


Taxation is a necessary component of any modern economy. In Australia the dominant form of taxation is income taxation. Any country imposing an income tax will face several fundamental policy options. Responsible businesses in any country with an income tax will endeavour to legitimately minimise their tax liability. In this subject Australian income tax law is examined in the context of the policy principles influencing Parliament and of planning opportunities that currently exist in Australia.
