    "Low income earners wouldn't pay more tax"
    And high income earners pay less tax

    LOL wealthy people work most of their affairs via a trust and company structure so all expenses are paid with pre tax $ and they claim back any GST they pay. They also claim depreciation on assets which also lowers taxable income.

    With a trust income can be distributed to family members who are on lower tax bracket, lets say they have 3 children and parents that are retired they can allocate $20k to each which is under the tax threshold for each so $100k goes untaxed. They can distribute $45k to each and only $25k is taxed at the 16% rate
    Often the case that the income distribution declared but doesn’t actually take place

    Here you go, some info on Trusts and why wealthy people use them.

    People that are not wealthy and on low incomes are not in a position to have a trust structure to minimise the tax they pay
