Minchin Argues For Elimination Of Australia's Superannuation Tax,
by Mary Swire, Tax-News.com, Hong Kong 25 January 2006
|
Australian Finance Minister Nick Minchin has proposed that the government should
abolish the superannuation tax in the next budget rather than cutting income
taxes which, he argues, could help overheat the economy by boosting consumer
spending and increasing inflation.
In a speech to the Young Liberal Movement Federal Convention in Sydney, Senator
Minchin said there was a strong case for abolishing the current 15% tax on superannuation
contributions, which raises around A$3.3 billion in Budget revenue.
"This is a Labor Tax, brought in by Paul Keating in 1988 in a typically
desperate bid to raise revenue, which made Australia one of the very few countries
that taxes peoples’ contributions to their superannuation," Senator
Minchin remarked.
"The super industry estimates that the abolition of this very odd tax
could mean the average worker would be up to A$30 a week better off in retirement,"
he added.
Senator Minchin cautioned that further income tax cuts which boosted consumer
spending might force the Reserve Bank to raise interest rates to keep inflation
in check.
"There is however a very obvious way to reduce taxation without unduly
stimulating the economy and putting upward pressure on interest rates, and that
is to look at how we tax savings as opposed to spending or income," Senator
Minchin argued.
"Abolishing Labor’s tax on super contributions would deliver a very
real benefit to Australian workers without overheating the economy," he
concluded.
