Dear Sir / Madam ECONOMIC REFORM ROUNDTABLE Pitcher Partners Advisors Proprietary Limited (Pitcher Partners) welcomes the opportunity to contribute this submission to the economic reform roundtable. Pitcher Partners specialises in advising taxpayers in what is commonly referred to as the middle market. The middle market is a vital engine of economic activity, contributing to approximately half of the economic activity and employment of our nation. This submission outlines our top six recommendations aimed at making a real difference to reduce systemic complexity, minimise regulatory burden, and foster investment. These reforms are essential to ensuring that there is sustainable growth and a continual increase in productivity of this critical sector of our economy into the future. While most proposals are expected to be revenue neutral, any potential shortfall could be offset by a comprehensive review of the GST system, aligning it with international standards. Many of our recommendations contained in this letter are drawn from our 2015 detailed Treasury submission, which is currently being updated and will be shared upon completion. We have only summarised the key items in this letter and would be happy to discuss further details on how each option could be implemented. If you would like to discuss this submission further, please contact me at either alexis.kokkinos@pitcher.com.au or (03) 8610 5170. Yours faithfully
A M KOKKINOS Executive Director 656410_2
