This month, the Economic Society of Australia asked its National Economic Panel (NEP) for their views on the following proposition. It goes to a potential core election issue as to whether Australia should follow President Trump’s suit and reduce its company tax rate if it is to continue to attract investment from abroad and at home.
Proposition: The recent US corporate tax cuts will have no impact on investments in and capital flows into Australia.
Read the results of the poll.
