Reducing Red Tape for Australian Small Businesses: Economic Impact and Reform Opportunities

Red tape – excessive or complex regulations and compliance processes – can stifle small business productivity and growth. Recent studies show Australia’s regulatory burden has risen significantly, with an annual cost impact increasing by nearly $1.9 billion in one year.
