Voters in the pivotal state of Queensland favour the coalition's tax plan, a new poll shows.

The YouGov/Galaxy poll, published in the Sunday Mail, asked 848 voters if they preferred Labor's plan to increase taxes in return for more government services, or the coalition's position of no new taxes.

It indicated 59 per cent of Queensland voters preferred the coalition's tax plan to Labor's proposal, while just 26 per cent backed Bill Shorten's tax offering.
