Tax Consultatoins
CONSULTATIONS CONCERNING WOMEN’S ISSUES IN WORKFORCE PARTICIPATION, SUPERANNUATION AND ASSOCIATED TAXATION AND TRANSFER ISSUES
The Commonwealth Office for Women has asked the National Foundation for Australian Women and the Equality Rights Alliance to undertake consultations with women to assist in further policy considerations about these issues.
Community discussions will take place in Adelaide, Albury-Wodonga, Canberra and Region, Parramatta, Brisbane and Toowoomba. As well the views of women’s organisations affiliated with all six of the national women’s Alliances supported by the Commonwealth Office for Women will be sought. In all, this should mean direct or indirect contacts with well over a million women across the nation.
A report on the consultations will be published, and a further technical analysis of gender issues in relation to taxation and transfers will result from the project.
The purpose of this background paper is to assist in community discussion by outlining the current systems, and raising some questions for consideration.
