IntroductionIn an economy there are number of taxes imposed on industries, organizations, individuals etc. By imposing such taxes the government of particular country generates revenue to undertake various activities of development. Broadly there are two types of taxes namely: Income tax and GST. In Australia currently GST is charged on almost every good and services at a rate of 10%[ CITATION phi14 \l 1033 ] and Income tax in Australia is charged at different rates. In Australia income taxes are as high as 22.78-30.13%, if an individual is earning a sum of $87,001-$18, 0,000. If an individual is earning $18,201-$37,000 then the person is liable to pay taxes of 0-9.5% on his income.

In Australia if the rate of GST is increased even by 5-8%, it is going to benefit thegovernment in a very good way.

Even the poorer of the peoples manages to buy goods or services(food, clothes) etc. So when an individual or anyone in an economy buys goods or services, theybecome liable to pay GST on the services or the goods acquired[ CITATION gho17 \l 1033 ]. Now ifwe talk about Income taxes, Australian government does not charge anything from an individualwho is earning $1-$18,200 in a year.
