Stakeholder concerns hinder agricultural vision; pause in tax reforms advisable
Recommendation
Stakeholder concerns around the Budget’s taxation proposals have made it difficult for the Government to articulate and deliver its wider vision for agriculture. It has also strained the relationships with those who will be responsible for helping to deliver that vision. A pause in the implementation of taxation reforms would allow for better formulation of tax policy and provide the Government with an opportunity to convey a positive long-term vision for farming. (Conclusion, Paragraph 49)
