Federal Budget 2022-23 Update

This is a safe, ballot box friendly Budget as expected with a focus on jobs, cost of living, home ownership, and health.

Key initiatives include:

• A 6 month, 50% reduction in fuel excise with effect from midnight Budget night
• A $420 cost of living tax offset for low and middle-income earners from 1 July 2022
• A one-off $250 economic support payment to some social security payment recipients

But, it is also a Budget that drives digitisation. Not just to support innovation but to streamline compliance, create transparency and more readily identify anomalies. Single touch payroll was the first step, the PAYG instalment system, trust compliance, and payments to contractors are next.
