Investment Impact of Gas Tax Changes

​← Gas Exports and Fair Share for Australians​

Preamble

The Business Council of Australia has warned that increasing taxes on gas exports could deter both domestic and international investment.

This argument suggests that higher taxes may reduce incentives for new projects, potentially affecting jobs, supply, and long-term economic growth.

Others argue that Australia’s natural resource base remains highly attractive and that fair taxation does not necessarily prevent strong investment.

Question:

Would higher taxes on gas exports deter investment?
