The Tax Reform Debate

An analysis of the current round of tax reform options against the criteria of efficiency, equity and fiscal Federal/State relations. The book draws together the country's leading tax economists to explain and comment on the major tax reform options which will be on the table in 1998, and to propose a solution to their competing claims. John Freebairn focuses on efficiency, Ann Harding on efficiency, Jeffrey Petchey on Commonwealth/State issues, while Peter Abelson, John Piggott and Robert Albon assess the options and propose model solutions.
