ABN Latest News
In the first of the official “bad news” pre budget announcements, Tony Abbott has announced that the May budget will include a deficit tax which will operate in a similar vein to the Medicare Surcharge.
It seems likely that the following bands will be used in applying the tax:
Taxable Income Percentage Deficit Tax
$Nil to $79,999 Nil%
$80,000 to $179,999 1%
$180,000 and above 2%
This means that taxpayers on $80,000 will be hit with $800 in extra tax, while someone earning $180,000 will fork out an extra $3,600 in tax. It certainly has been targeted towards the higher level earners.
The commitment at this stage from the government is that this tax will only be around while the budget remains in deficit.
We expect to have a few more “bad news” announcements in the coming days to ease the general public into what is increasingly looking like a fairly stringent budget.
The budget will be handed down on May 13.
