Tax reform ideas to support the creative industries – call for Victorian submissions

10 July 2025

Creative Victoria is collaborating with the NSW Government to ensure a strong Victorian voice in a national discussion about opportunities to improve the tax system to support the arts and creative industries.

Current tax policy can be seen by the sector as a barrier to artists' business viability, international competitiveness and income stability.

On 26 September 2025, the NSW Government will host The Art of Tax Reform Summit to develop policy proposals to unlock opportunities in the tax system for the benefit of the creative industries. Creative Victoria is represented on the working group for the Summit.

To contribute to this important discussion, we are calling for submissions and input from Victorian:

  • creators and creative industries workers (individuals and organisations)
  • philanthropists and donors
  • venue and property stakeholders
  • tax and economic policy experts

As well as other levels and parts of government.

You can have your say by uploading a submission and/or completing the survey by 11:59pm Sunday 10 August 2025.
