2023 Red Tape Survey is now open | How do business fees, charges, and legislative requirements impact you?

We’ve been working with Queensland businesses for more than a decade to understand how regulatory burden, or red tape, impacts you.

The 2023 Red Tape Survey is now open and we need your insight.

We want to understand the impacts and perception of business fees, charges, and legislative requirements with a focus on complexity, conflicts between three levels of government and the amount of time it takes you to ensure compliance.

About the Red Tape Survey

We know more than half of businesses want to see red tape reduction as government priority.

CCIQ’s biannual Red Tape survey has been running since 2009, identifying changes and trends in how regulatory compliance impacts businesses.

We share these findings directly with key government agencies to influence change. We’re committed to working with all levels of government to not only highlight this impact but identify and work towards opportunities for reform.

The most recent 2021 CCIQ Red Tape Survey confirms the burden of red tape has intensified and continues to adversely impact the performance of Queensland businesses.

What do we mean by red tape?

Red tape is regulation and processes beyond ‘minimal effective regulation’.

Minimal effective regulation is a regulatory regime where the fewest rules, requirements, or procedures are in place to achieve a stated regulatory objective.
