The NSW Government is seeking your input on opportunities for tax reforms that support the arts and creative industries.
The creative industries are a fundamental part of Australia's cultural identity and economy. However, the current tax policy can be seen by the sector as a barrier to artists' business viability, international competitiveness and income stability.
The Australian Government is approaching the halfway point of its five-year National Cultural Policy, Revive, and is looking ahead to determine the focus for future policies.
In September 2025, the NSW Government will hold The Art of Tax Reform Summit to develop a set of policy proposals to unlock opportunities to improve the tax system to support creativity.
Tell us what you think
We welcome input from all parts of the cultural ecosystem, including:
- creators and creative industries workers (individuals and organisations);
- philanthropists and donors;
- venue and property stakeholders;
- tax and economic policy experts; and
- all levels of government.
Please read The Art of Tax Reform: Unlocking opportunities to improve taxation for Australian creative industries, which provides ideas and examples of tax reforms previously suggested by the sector or from other jurisdictions, and principles for targeted government support.
You can have your say by uploading a submission and/or completing the survey by 11:59pm Sunday 10 August 2025.
