Formatted abstract This thesis provides estimates of the revenue impacts which would result from a shift in the tax unit, for personal income, from the individual to the family unit. The system costed is modelled on the French system - "the Quotient Familial". Simulation techniques are employed, using 1989-90 Australian Tax Office data, to measure the revenue response over a range of thresholds and marginal tax rates. Results of the tax simulations are combined with a model of labour force participation in order to measure the likely labour supply response. The results obtained are used to estimate the subsequent 'flow-on' effects, such as unemployment, resulting from the downward shift in labour supply and thus impacting on government revenue.
