The Tasmanian Government has released its response to the Independent Review of the State's Finances.
Treasurer, Guy Barnett, said the Government is committed to strengthening the fiscal position of the State.
"The Independent Review was wide-ranging and informative, and the Tasmanian Government thanks Mr Eslake for his significant contribution," the Treasurer said
"It is the Government's view in many ways the recommendations in the Independent Review are consistent with the Government's Fiscal Strategy.
"The Government's response is structured into four sections which address the key themes of the recommendations of the Independent Review – namely, Fiscal Strategy and Targets, Budget Matters, New Taxes, Agency Resourcing and Reporting
"We will continue our commitment to Tasmanian businesses and households of no new or increased taxes.
"It is clear that Tasmania is not immune to the challenges associated with increased demand on health and hospitals and this is having a material impact on Tasmania's fiscal position, but we recognise that these impacts are not unique to Tasmania.
"We are continuing to deliver our 2030 Strong Plan for Tasmania's Future and will deliver a Net Operating Surplus by 2029-30."
