Malcolm Turnbull has said the budget will contain the government’s tax policy, and questioned whether the benefits of increasing the GST would be worth the difficulties of doing so.

Submissions to the government’s taxation white paper show support for reducing concessions for superannuation but with no clear agreement on how to do this.
