DPG Advisory Solutions Director David Gazard says Treasurer Jim Chalmers “can’t meet the demands” of Australians because they “expect a tax cut”.

Next week’s federal Budget will include a $25 billion improvement in tax collections over four years.

Treasurer Jim Chalmers will hand down the budget on Tuesday, May 14.

“He’s a good communicator – no doubt about that – but his experience goes to entirely one budget,” Mr Gazard told Sky News Australia.

“We’re at a really difficult time at the moment.

“The thing that I think is going to be concerning the Treasurer is that he actually can’t meet the demands of the community.

“At a time when they expect relief from him, they expect a tax cut, they’ve got used to Treasurers like Costello who delivered tax cuts, they’ll all be looking at that table in the papers the day after budget, and there won’t be any relief.”
