White Paper
Open Letter to Mr Turnbull
Hi ,
Firstly thank you for the opportunity to provide feedback clearly Australia should be looking to
engage with SE Asia considering over 50% of the worlds population lives there and they are our closest
neighbour.
Secondly regarding this statement:
"We need to ensure our international engagement continues to deliver prosperity and security for all
Australians."
The very first thing that should be removed is the extra tax imposed on Non-Residents by taking away the
tax free threshold.
I am a family man with 4 children I am no burden on the government whatsoever in fact i pay the top
threshold of tax. When I went to do my tax income to my absolute disgust I discovered that my tax
threshold has increased.
I returned to Australia for an operation 2 years ago I discovered my medicare was cut because I had not
claimed in 2 years.
My firm opinion is that the taxation department is gouging expats because we are a minority and therefore
do not count.
I am growing an Australian business over seas to increase Australia's exports I am invited all the time to
present on how an Australian business can successfully set up a business in Thailand.
So for being Entrepreneurial I am being penalised an extra $6000 tax per year when I already pay over
$60,000 tax per annum of which nothing comes back to me or my family.
Really Mr Turnbull I have voted Liberal for the last 40 years and paid taxes for the same 44 years! One
question is this fair dinkum?
Regards,
Glenn Andrews I Managing Director - Asia
