Supporting families: Horizontal and vertical equity in the Australian tax-benefit system in historical and comparative perspectives

税收优惠改革和不同群体之间的平等是当前和可预见的未来的主要政策关切。税收优惠制度正在审查中，全球金融危机引发了关于税收优惠政策如何在保持公平和促进社会包容的同时刺激经济的辩论。这个项目将把有关税收优惠改革和削减赤字战略的辩论放在历史和国际比较的背景下进行。所产生的成果将为评估当前和未来政策选择提供一个丰富和全面的框架，这些政策选择的领域与指定的国家研究优先目标密切一致，即健康地开始生活和加强澳大利亚的经济和社会结构。

Tax benefit reform and equity between different groups are key policy concerns currently and for the foreseeable future. The tax-benefit system is under review, and the Global Financial Crisis has prompted debate on how tax-benefit policy can stimulate the economy while maintaining equity and promoting social inclusion. This project will put debate about tax-benefit reforms and deficit reduction strategies in historical and an international comparative context. Results generated will provide a rich and comprehensive framework for assessing current and future policy options in areas that are closely aligned with the designated national research priority goals of a healthy start to life and strengthening Australia's economic and social fabric.
