*Ostroff, Fair and Company>>>Australia Taxes

Are we taxed too much in Australia? Please give reasons.?

As the saying goes, there are 2 inevitable things in life: death and taxes. We have to pay them, that's why we don't like them.
Australia doesn't have tax rates that are too high and if you speak to an accountant they will be able to help you minimise taxes, even down to what products and services to avoid.
I don't think we are taxed too much because if these taxes weren't there the standard of living in Australia would be much lower.

Probably yes. We all know the reason. Money for them. Find me a place where people aren't taxed to death and I will go there.
Everyone thinks they are taxed too much but if you do a comparison of cost of living in various countries, you'll find we're actually not too bad. Take New Zealand for example- their prices are much higher. Japan's even worse. In Australia you can avoid a lot of tax by not buying pre-cooked foods etc, and the taxation department's not too mean.
