This has lead to repeated calls for tax reform and/or tax reductions in recent years, with the two not always being distinguished. What we do not known is what effect, if any, direct tax currently has on those at low income levels, and how these groups might therefore be affected by the various proposals which have been made for tax reductions/reforms
