Content
Taxation is a particularly important area of government activity. It impacts upon the directions and efficiency of the economy and ultimately affects the distribution of income in society and provides parameters within which government spending programs can be maintained. Tax planning, tax avoidance and tax fraud activities of taxpayers in today’s economic environment have a significant impact on the way in which tax laws are currently shaped and in their continuing development. This unit aims to develop a high level of understanding of the principles of public finance which inform the selection and framing of taxation laws, including the importance of direct and indirect taxes. Given that income taxation is an area with the greatest amount of legislation and legislative change, the greatest amount of reported decisions and the greatest number of administrative rulings, this unit examines in detail the legislative provisions of the Commonwealth income tax laws.
