The guy earning $35K will be paying a marginal tax of 21% but an average tax of 9.8%. Going to a flat 20% sounds good compared with the marginal tax rate, but is actually a more than doubling of his tax.
While you let the billionaires have an easy ride.

Centrelink recipients include any payments in their income tax return. Many/most are earning very low incomes, often even under the tax-free threshold, so get all/most of their tax returned.
Do you really understand the difference between a marginal tax system and a flat tax system?

Technically the business pays it at point of sale on the consumer’s behalf.

Exactly true. How it works.
GST is only paid on the extent a business contributes to consumption. It is a consumption tax, not an income tax, not a sales tax, not an excise.
Businesses may claim back the GST (consumption tax) paid which was not on consumption but on business inputs.

Please name for me the Australian business corporations there.
And why is there not any records of taxes paid? Despite the reported high level of tax compliance?

Yes, they are far too low in Australia. That is not the fault of the royalties but of piss-weak governments corrupted by powerful foreign (and self) interests.

I wish them luck. I am sceptical about the likelihood of success. Taxation does not work that way 🤷🏻♂️

These corporations will be paying a lot of other taxes - GST if they sell g&s in Australia, excise if they sell fuel, tobacco or gambling services, royalties (inadequate) on mining activities, etc.

“Make profits in Australia you pay Australian taxes”
Sadly that is not how our tax system works. Tax (on income/profits) is paid in your country of residence.

Show us their registered business offices?
The ones with no taxable income will mostly be based overseas. I have no idea why your table lists no tax paid for any. ? date and tax year.
The other image states that tax compliance is higher than ever.

“Much criticised”. My point exactly 👍🏼
They could lower them even more for those on lower incomes if they wished (and tax the billionaire class a lot more).

BTW, our Commonwealth government could lower taxes for those on lower incomes right NOW, if they wished.

Under the law, corporations are the same as people. They only pay no tax because they have made no profits (= income) or they are based overseas. You pay tax based on where you live or have your registered home office.

Are you proposing a 20% tax on billionaires and some lower rate for “the poor”? That is not a flat tax.
What about all those who are not poor, but not billionaires?
