Henry told us in his guide to the Institutional Framework of Taxation in Australia that the Australian Taxation System is one of the most complex in the world and is made up of approximately 125 taxes including taxes such as Income Tax, Capital Gains Tax, Fringe Benefits Tax and Goods and Services Tax just to name a few. He also mentioned that there are many different organisations that play different and varied roles within this system to ensure its integrity and all Australians are equally treated with equity. The Australian Taxation System is embedded in the way of life for all Australian taxpayers, we pay tax on our income, we pay tax when we purchase goods and use services, we pay tax when we sell assets and this is just to name a few but in return the Government provides services and benefits e.g. hospitals, schools, defence, and financial assistance to those in need etc. As we know the government relies very heavily on the revenue from taxation to be able to finance its activities and services it offers to the public and reforms on taxation are often a focus of governments. An area of taxation reform that is often under review is the concept of negative gearing. It has been an area of discussion for a while now in Australia, with some arguing it should be abolished and some arguing changes should be made in the way it is used and other demanding that is not affected by any tax reform measures. So what is Negative Gearing and how does it fit into the Australian Taxation System? ……. Well that is up to you to work out as part of this assessment. This assessment requires you to review this topical area of taxation (Negative Gearing) which has been playing out in the media for a number of months now as per Part 1 and Part 2 below. Part One Review Australian newspapers such as the West Australian, Financial Review, The Australian, Sunday Times and various others for articles on the area mentioned above. You need to find 10 newspaper articles which will be handed in with your assignment. The articles should be from 2016 or 2017 only. If you do not have access to Australian Newspapers then you may use the Factiva Database within the Curtin Library. A factsheet on how to use this database and a short video presentation is included in the assessment link for this assignment on the Blackboard. These newspaper articles must be scanned or saved as PDF files and uploaded to the Blackboard in the appropriate area within the assessment tab. Please Note we will not accept links to the articles. Part Two After reading newspapers and looking for the articles on the subject of Negative Gearing and the debate being carried out in the public arena by both political parties, lobby groups and the general public, you should have started to develop your own view on the concept of Negatively Gearing. For this area of the assessment you need to explain a) What negative gearing is within an Australian concept b) What the benefits and disadvantages are of Negative Gearing c) What is your opinion of negative gearing eg is a good thing or a bad thing, should the government make changes to it or leave it alone, who do you believe benefits from it.

Assignment Submission Process

 

Please read the submission process carefully. Students should understand that compliance with instructions in relation to an assessment task is critical. Students MUST be aware that non-compliance with these instructions can result in a mark of ZERO.

All assignments must be submitted by 11.59pm (western standard time) on the Monday of the week the assignment is due.

Students will also be required to submit their assignment to Blackboard. The assignment will automatically be submitted to the plagiarism detection programme, Turnitin.

 

What is Turnitin?

Turnitin is an electronic text matching system that compares text in a student’s assignment against electronic text on the Internet, in published works, on commercial databases, and in assignments previously submitted to Turnitin by students in universities all over the world, including assignments obtained from ‘paper mills’ (Internet sites which sell student papers).

 

Students and Turnitin

Turnitin is a fantastic resource to assist students with their referencing. Students are given the option to submit a draft assignment into Turnitin (via Blackboard) to retrieve an originality report of their assignment. The originality report is a tool to help locate potential sources of unoriginal work in submitted documents by highlighting similarities between the submitted text and the data in the Turinitin database.

Submitting a draft assignment and reviewing the originality reports provides students with the opportunity to ensure their assignment is referenced appropriately, and to make any necessary changes.

Please note that the similarity percentage that an originality report generates is not a measure of plagiarism, provided students have referenced the relevant primary sources which they obtained their information and ideas from correctly.
