20th Jun 2018, 7:18 PM – Senate Treasury Laws Amendment (Personal Income Tax Plan) Bill 2018 - In committee - Later repeals
Summary
EditThe majority voted in favour of a motion that part 3 of schedule 2 stand as printed. This means that that part will remain as it is. The vote was put after South Australian Senator Tim Storer moved that it should be opposed.
What is Part 3 of Schedule 2?
According to the bills digest:
Part 3 of Schedule 2 amends the Rates Act to subsequently repeal the tables containing the new tax rates that apply under the PITP [Personal Income Tax Plan], as they are superseded by further changes. The personal income tax rate and threshold tables that apply in 2018–19, 2019–20, 2020–21 and 2021–22 would be repealed from 1 July 2024 and the income tax rate and threshold tables that apply in 2022–23 and 2023–24 are repealed from 1 July 2026.
Despite the repeal of the tables, item 25 states that the rates and thresholds in the repealed tables continue to apply to the relevant income years.
