From www.taxinstitute.com.au: Taxation in Australia serves not only to raise revenue but also to shape societal behavior and support public services.

The origins of taxation extend back to ancient civilizations, evolving over time to meet the needs of modern society, where personal income tax remains a major revenue source.

Comprehensive reform is necessary for sustaining an effective tax system, ensuring compliance, and educating the public about the importance of taxation in funding community services.
