Abstract

This article considers constitutional arguments regarding the validity of the Minerals Resource Rent Tax. Most argument is likely to concern s114 of the Constitution, prohibiting Commonwealth taxation of State property, or arguments that the law is discriminatory. It concludes that the Act is likely to survive constitutional challenge.
