The Australian government has unveiled plans in a Media Release to implement tax cuts effective from July 1, aimed at providing relief to taxpayers across the country. These tax adjustments are intended to address cost-of-living concerns and ensure that Australians retain more of their earnings.
Key features of the tax cuts include:
- Reduction of the 19% tax rate to 16% for incomes between $18,200 and $45,000.
- Reduction of the 32.5% tax rate to 30% for incomes between $45,000 and the new $135,000 threshold.
- Increase of the threshold for the 37% tax rate from $120,000 to $135,000.
- Increase of the threshold for the 45% tax rate from $180,000 to $190,000.
The tax cuts are projected to provide substantial relief, with an average income earner receiving a $1,504 tax cut, $804 more than under previous plans. Those earning $40,000 will receive a $654 tax cut, compared to none under previous plans, while those earning $100,000 will receive a $2,179 tax cut.
The government emphasizes that these tax cuts are designed to be fiscally responsible, supporting economic growth, and addressing the needs of Australian taxpayers.
