PM’s tax flip: bigger cuts for workers on up to $150k
Quick Glance: Tax Reform: Increased Cuts up to $150k
  • The original package provided a tax cut of $1875 per year for workers earning $120,000, but a more generous benefit of $9075 per year for workers earning $200,000.

  • The changes address criticism from the Greens and progressive think tanks that $9.1 billion of the $20.7 billion in benefits would go to workers earning over $180,000 a year.

  • Shadow treasurer Angus Taylor stated that the Coalition would 'absolutely not' accept any changes to stage 3, as voters were promised the tax cuts in the form set in law.

  • The nation’s top employers issued a strong warning against changing stage 3 tax cuts due to the risk to the economy and damage to trust in the government.
