Small businesses are

the heart of our local communities

These are the businesses that know you by name – the café that knows just how you like your coffee, the mechanic who always gets your car going, the barber who’s been cutting your hair for years.

Small businesses employ over 5 million Australians, contribute more than $500 billion to the economy every year, and make up over 97% of all businesses in Australia. Their impact is undeniable.

They sponsor your local footy team, support school fundraisers, and provide essential services that keep our communities strong. But to keep thriving, they need a fair go.

They make up

Dear %MP_TITLE% %MP_NAME%,

Small businesses are the heart of our communities and the driving force of our economy. Every day, they provide vital services, create jobs and contribute to the local economy. They sponsor local sports teams, support schools and provide the products and services we rely on.

Small businesses inject more than $500 billion into the Australian economy annually, employ over 5 million Australians and make up more than 97% of all businesses in the country. They shape our communities and are essential to the growth and prosperity of our nation.

These businesses are ready to do even more – if they’re given the fair go they deserve. It’s time to level the playing field, provide the tax relief they need and ensure they can continue to thrive and contribute.

Small business should pay a lower tax rate than larger enterprises.

I’m asking for your support to help these businesses continue to grow, create more jobs and deliver the services we all need. Let’s give them the opportunity to unlock their full potential.

Thank you for considering this important issue.

Sincerely yours,
