23.01.2022 "BACKPACKER TAX" - Passes through the House of Representatives without amendment. Are you currently travelling around Australia or know of someone travelling around Australia? Make sure they see a tax agent to understand what they need to do for their tax affairs whilst in Australia. From 1 January 2017, the Government has announced it will set the tax rate applying to working holiday makers at 19% on earnings up to $37,000, rather than the 32.5% announced in the 2015-2016 Bu...dget, with ordinary marginal tax rates applying after that. The Government will also reduce the application charge for working holiday maker visas by $50 to $390. These changes will lower the cost of coming to Australia for working holiday makers and leave them with more money in their pockets to spend while here.

15.01.2022 FBT - Changes to treatment of reportable fringe benefits (RFBA) Changes have been made to how reportable fringe benefits amounts (RFBA) are treated for family assistance and youth income support payments.

Employees impacted need to update their income details now with the DHS to ensure they get their correct entitlement to any Australian Government payments they receive.
