Title
Treasury Laws Amendment (Personal Income Tax Plan) Bill 2018 - in Committee - Low and Middle Income tax offset- Treasury Laws Amendment (Personal Income Tax Plan) Bill 2018 - in Committee - Low and Middle Income Tax Offset
Description
-
- The majority voted against [amendments (1) to (7)](https://www.openaustralia.org.au/senate/?gid=2018-06-20.197.1) introduced by South Australian Senator [Penny Wong](https://theyvoteforyou.org.au/people/senate/sa/penny_wong) (Labor), which means they failed.
- ### What did these amendments do?
Though Senator Wong didn't get the chance to speak to her amendments, reading the text below suggests that the purpose of these amendments was to extend the tax benefit beyond the current end-date of 2021-23. That is, currently the benefits received by low and middle income earners only apply for income years up to 2021-22. These amendments would have deleted that cap and instead inserted the words "or a later income year".- Though Senator Wong didn't get the chance to speak to her amendments, reading the text below suggests that the purpose of these amendments was to extend the [Low and Middle Income Tax Offset](https://www.aph.gov.au/Parliamentary_Business/Bills_Legislation/bd/bd1718a/18bd115) (LAMITO) beyond the current end-date of 2021-23.
