Productivity Commission proposes revolutionary overhaul of company tax system
Pursuant to the proposals of the Commission, for all businesses with less than $ 1 billion, approximately 98 percent of all companies will decrease to 20 percent for all businesses. Approximately 500 enterprises, which are the largest corporate taxpayers in the country, will continue to face 30 percent tax rate over $ 1 billion.
In order to meet the cost of tax reduction and encourage enterprises to spend more spending in technology, equipment and research, the commission proposes to impose a 5 percent cash flow tax to all enterprises.
Companies are able to reduce the full cost of capital expenditures such as new technology or machinery, and it is made from taxable cash flows to encourage businesses to make productivity investments.
What is cash flow tax?
The company tax is paid for an enterprise’s taxable income (after deductions). An important part of the tax -subject income is that a company allowed capital expenditures to be written gradually over time.
However, in the cash flow tax, the year of employment to find jobs within a year – the year when it provides spending.
Unlike the company tax, a enterprise within the scope of cash flow tax cannot claim interest cuts to reduce taxable income. Fans argue that tax encourages businesses to invest more, while reducing taxable income, the debt ends the tax advantage.
Currently, an investment has been subjected to depreciation for several years, which are thought to be a deterrent for companies to deposit money into speculative or large projects.
Unlike the tax system, interest rates to borrowings cannot be used to reduce their debting through cash flow tax.
The Commission advocates more than large companies that can easily borrow small and medium -sized businesses, which often have to rely on their own savings, which often have to rely on their savings.
“The Company Income Tax System tends to support people in charge while restricting capital expenditures by other companies,” he said.
The proposal estimates that the proposal will increase the investment by $ 7.4 billion, the size of the economy is 14.6 billion dollars and its productivity by 0.4 percent.
It is estimated that the general impact on the federal budget is zero, because large companies will pay more taxes and balance the lower tax paid by firms at a threshold of $ 1 billion.
The Commission finally believes that the cash flow tax rate can be increased and the company allows the tax rate to be reduced for large firms.
Although cash flow taxes have gained support among academics, no country offers a country to replace the traditional company tax.
Fans are multinational companies that can sell intellectual property, especially to sell intellectual property or to debt between international affiliates to reduce general tax burdens.
Despite the total income of 12.6 billion dollars in 2022-23 years, 481 million dollars of taxation can be paid 141 million dollars of tax payment of technology giants such as Apple and Four organizations reported 6.5 billion dollars in revenue and 125 million dollars of tax payment of the Amazon, Australia met the legal tax needs.
