Tax revenue forms the fuel that drives the spending of a government. Security, courts, regulators, infrastructure, utilities and a host of business, enterprise, labour, consumer and investor enablers are funded by the government using this tax revenue. As citizens, we want the classic retail investor deal—highest return for no risk—or the highest level of government services at no tax, or lowest possible tax. But the journey to a $5 trillion economy, an audacious growth target of over 12% a year, will not happen without deep change in who pays how much tax and how the government removes the various arbitrages from within the tax system.
