Abstract

P. G. Sharp's paper entitled 'The First Paragraph of Section 55' was a valuable and interesting contribution to analysis of the sections of the Constitution. He provided a historical background to the section and its interpretation, making the argument that following Permanent Trustee Australia Ltd v Commissioner of State Revenue (Victoria), there is no further need for legislative drafters to split taxation legislation into a 'Taxing Act' and an 'Assessment Act'. But the Permanent Trustee case has left Section 55 in a confused state and it appears that if the entire scheme is combined into one Act, the Senate cannot amend the machinery provisions.
