Growing your team should be a sign of business success, not a reason to face a bigger tax burden.

Canberra businesses should be encouraged to grow, employ more people and invest in our economy.

Instead, the ACT has the highest payroll tax rate in Australia!

We believe Canberra can do better. It’s time for settings that support business growth and make the ACT a more competitive place to do business.

Let’s start looking after business.
