About this Submission

The NSW Business Chamber (the Chamber) welcomes the opportunity to provide a submission to the Productivity Commission’s (PC) public inquiry into Horizontal Fiscal Equalisation. 

As a representative of NSW businesses, the Chamber welcomes further examination into Australia’s system of Horizontal Fiscal Equalisation (HFE), and in particular, whether the current approach to HFE creates disincentives for reform or otherwise impacts negatively on economic growth.
