Business groups and economists call for tax reform as politicians remain silent

Ai Group says tax reform could trigger a wave of foreign investment.

With a federal election approaching and Labor losing the 2019 poll over its tax policies, the Australian Industry Group has put forward a tax reform plan as each major policy remains silent on the issue.

But Ai Group’s plan does not involve building the country’s tax base, which Australia Institute chief economist Richard Denniss described as a “pity”.
