It's your chance to have your say about these questons: Do you pay too much tax?; Do businesses pay too much tax? Are the marginal tax rates equitable? Is a user-pays tax system fair?; Are our taxes being spent on the right things?

Encourage communal permaculture in communities, street-by-street where nature strips and gardens allow for it - where people who know can tell people who don't what to do.

Stop taxing me so much! I pay tax on my hard earned dolars - and then if I do thr right thing and save it in the bank - I pay tax on the interest earned. How is that an incentive to save and get ahead?

if we want to simplify tax - we need to have more evolved thinkers - not just tweaking what we already have but revolutionising the way we live. Tax is a function of the wharped way we've come to accept as living.

Income tax should be abolished and instead just have a flat consumption tax. It would cut out additional costs of taxation offices and reduce the likelihood of tax fraud

Income tax is too confusing - and the ATO does nothing to help.

Consumption tax is the way. Those who spend the most pay the most. A low, say 10% flat income tax, coupled with a larger consumption tax, is sensible, but the GST needs to be simpler, its too complex inthe current form

We need a de-minimus rule of days a person works in this country before they become subject to income tax, e.g. 60 days.

Australia should eliminate fringe benefits tax. It is inefficient, poorly drafted and raises an immaterial amount of revenue.

Payroll tax should also be eliminated. A tax on employment? How stupid is that!
