Unpacking the tax changes starting today

Tax cuts have come into effect today, six months after the Federal Government released its revised ‘Stage 3’.

It means that you will be paying less tax each pay cycle.

New tax cuts

Australia has a “progressive” tax system, which means the more you earn, the more tax you pay. You don’t pay tax for the first $18,200 earned in a year.

Every dollar earned above that is taxed.

In 2019, the then-Coalition Government legislated, which the Labor Government revised when they came to power. Today the cuts come into place.
