      Not at all. Even if you accept those calculations, Aust rate remains well behind Asian average (21.9%)...

      And @ChristineJackmn my challenge to @BCAcomau stands - produce ANY evidence from ANYWHERE that corporate tax cuts do what you claim.

          According to Nostradamus, Reagan's magical 1980 tax cuts will start trickling down in 2087.

          is the tax rate why profitable banks keep offshoring jobs? Less tax won't help working Aussies

          Ireland is the shining example. Pulled itself out of the GFC via low tax attracting foreign corps.

          And did "most of the OECD" economies grow by over 25% in 2015? None except Ireland.

          Perhaps if we reduce maximum rate of company tax we could also agree a minimum corporate tax rate?
