The Andrew Leigh-Sinclair Davidson company tax debate : Comments

By Gene Tunny, published 18/7/2018

It does not make sense to relate jobs created to the effective tax rate paid by companies in the way Andrew Leigh did.

Shadow,
Firstly, why do you think we should have to rely on foreign investment rather than our own?
Secondly, why do you think the company tax rate is so much more important than all the other factors that drive corporate investment?

Aidan,

We have to rely on both domestic and international investment as domestic sources are often not big enough for the large projects. Both domestic and foreign firms can invest anywhere that gives good yields. The problem is not just that we are losing foreign investment, but that local firms are choosing to invest overseas as well.
