Henry told us in his guide to the Institutional Framework of Taxation in Australia that
the Australian Taxation System is one of the most complex in the world and is made
up of approximately 125 taxes including taxes such as Income Tax, Capital Gains
Tax, Fringe Benefits Tax and Goods and Services Tax just to name a few. He also
mentioned that there are many different organisations that play different and varied
roles within this system to ensure its integrity and all Australians are equally treated
with equity.
The Australian Taxation System is embedded in the way of life for all Australian
taxpayers, we pay tax on our income, we pay tax when we purchase goods and use
services, we pay tax when we sell assets and this is just to name a few.
It is important that you as a future tax professional understand how this system
impacts on yourself and those around you and this can be seen from paying
attention to media reports.
This assessment is in two parts –
Part One
You are required from week 1 to week 9 to review Australian newspapers such
as the West Australian, Financial Review, The Australian, Sunday Times and
various others for articles on Australian Tax. You need to find 20 articles which
will be handed in with your assignment. If you do not have access to Australian
Newspapers for examples you are an overseas student or have financial issues then you may use the Factiva Database within the Library. A factsheet on how to use this database in attached.
Part Two
After spending 9 weeks reading newspapers on the Australian Taxation System, you
should have started to develop your own view of the system and how the system is
used for different purposes.
For example many consider that it is used as a political tool by governments and
other political parties, that it is far too complex and the average Australian does not
fully understand their taxation obligations, that the organisations that are responsible
for administrating the system are overloaded already. Whilst others have a strong
view that the system is one of the best in the world and that its function is to raise
money for public goods and without tax we do not have a civilised society. These
are just a few observations and there are many more and if you speak to a number
of different people you will get very wide ranging opinions.
