Response to ‘How company tax cuts got killed’ in The Australian Financial Review

On Friday 16 February the Australian Financial Review published an opinion piece on company tax and argued that The Australia Institute ‘undermined a policy that woud have created jobs, profits and a bigger economy’.

Generally this is a good article which sets out how The Australia Institute undermined the Government’s plan to cut company taxes, even if it may be too early to declare victory. However, the article suggests that logic is on the side of the company-tax-cutters and not the critics. We take strong issue with that view.
