Finance Minister Mathias Cormann insists the government is looking to improve the tax mix, not increase the burden on taxpayers.

He says if you improve the tax mix, and make sure the system is more efficient and less distorting, it will encourage people to work more, save more and invest more.

"Then the stronger growth will deliver a dividend to government which, of course, can be then invested in the important benefits and services provided by government," Senator Cormann told the Ten Network on Sunday.
