In 2013, the Papua New Guinea Government announced that it would undertake a comprehensive review of the country’s fiscal (taxation and non-taxation) regime.

The Tax Review Committee that has been established to undertake this Review is committed to consulting widely, ensuring that as many Papua New Guineans as possible have a say in how their tax system is designed. The purpose of this page is to allow those Papua New Guineans active on Social Media to provide their views and perspectives on the design of Papua New Guinea's future taxation system.

Government revenue is critical to funding essential services and infrastructure for the people of PNG, to share the benefits of prosperity across families, communities and regions and lay the foundations for future growth.

The last comprehensive taxation review was undertaken in the year 2000. Given the substantial economic, fiscal and technological developments of the past 13 years, it is timely to undertake a further review, to ensure PNG has a modern tax system that is able to support the country’s medium and long-term economic and social development objectives. While formally titled a “Tax Review”, the review will consider all sources of revenue, including non-taxation revenues.

The scope of the Review includes personal income tax; corporate income tax; excise and customs tariff arrangements; the operation and efficiency of the goods and services tax; mining and petroleum taxation; land, property and capital gains tax; non-tax revenue (including charges and levies); taxpayer compliance; and the efficiency and simplicity of tax administration.
