Lex Fullarton

The Artful Aussie Tax Dodger (eBook, ePUB)

100 Years of Tax Reform in Australia

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

In The Artful Aussie Tax Dodger, Lex Fullarton studies the impact of 100 years of taxation legislation in Australia, from 1915 to 2016. He finds that despite the lessons of a century of taxpayers and administrators' actions and reactions, old habits are hard to break. Driven by the winds of various political and social interests, Australia embarked on a century of tax reform from the moment when its first Income Tax Assessment Act was introduced. Fullarton discusses the oldest of tax planning entities, the British Trust, the introduction of Australia's 'reformed' consumption tax, its VAT, referred to as Goods and Services Tax, an analysis of tax avoidance schemes, and finally government taxation reform. This book looks at how Australia's tax legislation was grounded, added to, avoided, and evolved, until it went 'Back to the Future'. It is a collection of studies compiled from experience and research conducted over twenty years of involvement in taxation law in rural and remote Australia.

Autorenporträt

Lex Fullarton, PhD, describing himself as the proverbial Australian bush lawyer, holds higher degrees in tax law from Curtin University in Western Australia, and completed his PhD in Taxation at the University of New South Wales in 2013. He worked as a tax-practitioner and public accountant in Western Australia for over 20 years before he turned to solar farming on the arid landscape surrounding Carnarvon, Western Australia, in 2005. His Solex Project has since become a demonstration of how renewable energy can effectively compete with fossil-fuel powered industries. They can be turned into socially positive, economically viable, and environmentally sustainable enterprises. Lex is author of the books Heat, Dust and Taxes (2015), Watts in the Desert (2016), and The Artful Aussie Tax Dodger (2017). He was born and lives in Carnarvon, Western Australia.

Rezensionen

It is not often that a book on tax challenges us with its insights. This book does that. There is much in here, not just for tax specialists but for all of us trying to get our community to discuss, debate and even to disagree with. Lex Fullarton's book opens up the avenues for a fruitful exploration of ideas about Australian society not often explored in tax. John Passant, former Australian Assistant Commissioner of Taxation and tax academic Australian National University.
