Dear Treasurer…
“Most multinationals pay little or no tax in Australia. This is because they’re taxed on their profits, which they shift to foreign or low tax jurisdictions. Ordinary Australians pay tax on our income. So why don’t we tax corporations on their income, instead of their profits? After all they are reaping the benefits from doing business here with the advantage of the infrastructure and services paid for by our taxes – so they should contribute.”
Tony Drake, Brisbane 
Tax companies more
“Corporate taxes should go up, not down. Personal tax rates should be lowered instead. Why? Because we’re a consumption based economy, so lowering personal taxes results in high consumption, period! Lowering company taxes results in higher profits shifted overseas or to shareholders, CEOs and executive bonuses.”
Rolf Stockburger
Tax truce
“We need a bipartisan approach from all sides of parliament to discuss the taxation situation in Australia. No one wants to pay more, however we all have demands to satisfy our needs in education, health and government services. All politicians should get together representatives and reach a consensus on how we can have a fair system of taxation going forward.”
Richard Cantwell, Gisborne VIC
