Federal Budget 2024-25 overview
Another budget, another funding boost for the Australian Taxation Office and no substantive tax changes for small business or individuals.
Australian Federal Budget 2024-25
The Government has handed down a ‘no surprises’ budget with little in the way of substantive tax reform.
Clarification of some announced but unenacted measures (ABUMs) and over $2B of extra funding to the ATO to reduce fraud helps ‘clear part of the deck’, but much more clarification of ABUMs is needed before the government plans its next budget in March 2025 ahead of the Federal election.
Small business will welcome the extension of the instant asset write off but be disappointed that the 120% boosts have not been included. The ATO has been given the power to retain business activity statement refunds for up to 30 days, instead of the usual 14 days which may challenge the cash flow of some businesses.
Students will welcome a reduction in their HECS debt due to the change in how it is indexed.
Foreign residents that have assets connected to Australian land may have a greater exposure to capital gains tax.
