Tax Reform for Growth: A New Taxation Regime for QLD

Queensland’s tax system faces mounting challenges, with payroll tax, stamp duty, and other punitive state imposts widely seen as brakes on jobs, investment, and economic dynamism. The State remains heavily reliant on coal and gas export royalties, which make up around a quarter of the economy, yet are forecast to face long-term decline as global markets decarbonise.

Queensland must ask how it will fund essential services in future decades? Would a broad-based property tax would deliver greater fairness and stability, particularly as population growth drives housing values and service demands? The challenge is even greater considering that meaningful reform will require coordination with Federal taxation reforms to ensure a fairer, more competitive, and sustainable economic base for Queensland.

Join us as we kickstart a discussion on this key factor influencing the future development of Queensland.
