Agree

No, keep the current tax structure

The Nationals would likely agree with keeping the current tax structure, as they have generally supported the existing tax system and opposed major tax increases. However, they may also support some tax reforms, such as lowering taxes for certain groups or industries.

Agree

No, but lower taxes for the poor

While the Nationals generally support lower taxes, they have also shown some support for measures to help the poor and disadvantaged. They may therefore agree with lowering taxes for the poor, although this is not a major focus of their party platform.

Slightly agree

Reform to a flat tax

The Nationals may have some support for a flat tax, as it simplifies the tax system and could potentially lower taxes for some groups. However, they have not strongly advocated for this policy in the past, and it could be seen as regressive and unfair to the poor.

Neutral

Lower the income tax rate and remove all existing tax loopholes for large corporations

The Nationals have not strongly advocated for lowering the income tax rate and removing all existing tax loopholes for large corporations. While they support lower taxes, they also support a fair and balanced tax system that ensures everyone pays their fair share.

Disagree

Abolish the income tax, disallow all deductions and increase the sales tax

While the Nationals support lower taxes and less government intervention, they have not advocated for abolishing the income tax or increasing the sales tax. Such a radical change to the tax system would likely be seen as too disruptive and risky.
