A Comparison Of Income Averaging Procedures For Income Tax Purposes

Author

  • Chisholm, Anthony H.

Abstract

A comparison is made of a number of income averaging procedures on the basis of selected performance criteria. The main conclusion which emerges is that the Australian income averaging procedure, currently applied to primary producers, has a number of defects. Several of the alternative income averaging procedures reviewed are judged to be superior to the current Australian system.
