WA’s GST is working for Australia. WA produces almost half of the nation’s exports, yet we receive a lower GST share than any other state or territory. The Productivity Commission released its interim report into the review of the 2018 GST reforms. Its recommendations could leave WA up to $6 billion worse off per year. That’s money that helps fund essential services like hospitals, schools, regional programs, and infrastructure that West Australians rely on. It also supports job-creating projects that drive the national economy, such as roads, ports, power and water infrastructure. More than 6,000 Western Australians have already told us why maintaining the current GST arrangements matters for jobs, infrastructure, regional services, and our State's future growth.
