QUESTION 1

You are about to enter the tax profession. Your future employer Tax Advice and Policy Services (TAPS) has stressed the importance of being able to clearly and professionally structure and present ideas, judgements and opinions. TAPS has informed you that in your new role, you could be expected to brief a wide audience including the Australian Tax Office, Treasury, international corporate taxpayers, and small business owners. TAPS is concerned that you may not fully understand the complexity of the taxation regime and the additional complications that COVID-19 has introduced to the fiscal system.

Fortunately, during your time at QUT you studied advanced tax law where the real world came to you and you heard from nine senior tax experts from around the world. Each were interviewed throughout your unit, sharing their insights into current problems and future challenges in tax.

TAPS has advised you that on your first day, you will be asked to prepare an internal briefing note to be circulated among the partners. This briefing note will be used to determine what section of the firm you are placed into. As part of that briefing note, you are asked to address the following:

A) Select two aspects of the current domestic tax system that are overly complex and explain how you would reform each.
