MCA to oppose tax changes on interest deductibility

Australia’s capacity to capture the next wave of mining investment would depend on ensuring policy frameworks that were internationally competitive, the Minerals Council of Australia (MCA) said in a submission to the Standing Committee on Economics.

The committee was tasked to undertake an inquiry into the simplification of the personal and company tax income system, with a focus to broaden the base of these taxes to fund reduction rates. A particular reference was made to the deductibility of interest incurred by businesses.
