THE South Australian government won't entertain cutting business taxes if it means ordinary working families pay more, Premier Jay Weatherill says.
Key business groups in SA have called for tax reform including cuts to stamp duties and payroll tax.
They have also suggested a review of the GST to increase revenue flowing to the states.
In its submission to a parliamentary inquiry into the state's tax system, the Motor Trade Association (MTA) said changes were needed to encourage growth.
"We are the highest taxing state on business, rather than being a state which is attracting more businesses to add more revenue," MTA chief executive John Chapman said.
"And the best way to attract more businesses to South Australia, is by making our tax system more competitive with the other states."
But Mr Weatherill said big business wanted to shift the burden of taxation to ordinary working families.
"We won't co-operate with them. It's as simple as that," he said.
The premier said all of the services that people wanted, including health care or police, had to be funded through government revenue.
"The revenue comes from the taxation that big business is complaining about," he said.
