澳大利亚格拉坦研究所发布报告，提议将商品和服务税（GST）从现行的10%提高至15%，并扩展至所有食品，年均可增加约760亿澳元税收收入1。该方案建议将其中580亿澳元用于削减中低收入者所得税并提高福利支付，其余收入分配给州政府1。
根据该提案的分配设想，JobSeeker和青年津贴将提高20%、租赁补助提高50%、育儿津贴提高20%、养老金提高约8%1。研究数据显示，采用此方案后，低收入单亲租赁家庭每周可增加约150澳元收入，而高收入家庭每周则需多缴税162澳元1。
总理阿尔巴尼斯表示，工党尚未考虑实施GST增税方案1。
The Grattan Institute has released a report recommending a significant overhaul of Australia's tax and welfare framework centered on raising the Goods and Services Tax (GST) 1. Under the proposal, the GST would increase from 10 percent to 15 percent and be extended to all food items, generating approximately 760 billion Australian dollars in additional annual revenue 1. Of this amount, 580 billion Australian dollars would be allocated to cutting income taxes for middle and lower-income earners and boosting welfare payments, with the remainder distributed to state governments 1.
The Institute's modeling shows a progressive outcome under the revised system. Low-income single-parent renting families would gain approximately 150 Australian dollars per week, while high-income households would pay an additional 162 Australian dollars in tax weekly 1. The welfare component of the proposal includes a 20 percent increase in JobSeeker and youth allowances, a 50 percent rise in rental assistance, a 20 percent boost to childcare payments, and an approximately 8 percent increase to pensions 1. Recent research from the University of New South Wales suggests that the GST may not be as regressive as commonly believed 1.
Prime Minister Albanese has indicated that the Labor Party has not yet considered raising the GST 1.
