Taxes in Australia

There has been a lot of talk lately about Australias tax system, and how screwed up it is. (isn't every countries?) the proposal I like best is called '30-30' by John Humphreys in a nutshell:

  • 30,000 Tax free threshold
  • 30% Tax rate above that
  • with a sliding scale payment made to people earning below 30k
That's it. no non-income related deductions. no allowances. no difference ...
