The top income tax bracket in Australia includes all incomes over $181,000 and is taxed between 30.3% and 45%. Individuals making $180,000 are taxed $65,000 plus $.45 for each $1 earned over $180,000.

How do you determine rich? Its not about salary really is it. The filthy rich do not receive standard pay and wages as normal workers do. It's these people that must be taxed and that includes all they receive and spend as corporate expenses . The normal worker gets taxed on perks and allowances. The filthy rich get away without any issue on their perks and out of pockets!
@4SZP3NV4yrs4Y
Yes, but also take into consideration the number of children supported in the household

Taxes should vary based on income/tax bracket. The rich will naturally be paying more than those in lower tax brackets. The rich should not receive additional tax increases.

keep current variable tax rate and remove all existing tax loopholes for large corporations and mining companies.
@B2M2C6L1wk1W
I believe large corporations should pay more tax however I understand it's not as simple as increasing tax rates. There are lots of tax evasion loopholes and if you increase tax brackets too much, corporations can do business elsewhere.
@B2L57SD1wk1W
Raise the tax rate on over $200,000 but lower the rate for those earning through multiple income sources
@B2J5P8H2wks2W
I believe the exeptionally wealthy who are not contributing to society should be taxed heavily, if they donate to public works they should receive lower taxes
@B2CRG6D4wks4W
Abolish tax under 150k and raise threshold yearly with cpi. Start bottom bracket at 150k and raise to next bracket at 250 then top bracket at 500K double the gst but keep protection of basic goods and services. (Non processed food, medical, essential insurance, disability aids etc)
