Federal Budget

On Tuesday, 9th May, Federal Treasurer Hon. Jim Chalmers handed down the 2023/24 Federal Budget, a second delivered by the Albanese Government, providing an outlook into the Government's priority to create a "responsible and sustainable" economic strategy, in the face of continued inflation, rising cost-of-living, and global volatility.

On Tuesday, 25th October, Federal Treasurer Jim Chalmers handed down the 2022/23 Albanese Government - Federal Budget, providing a brief introduction into Labor's priorities to steady the peak of inflation and manage Australia's economic deficit.

On Tuesday, 29th March, Federal Treasurer Josh Frydenberg delivered the 2022/23 Federal Budget, focused on supporting Australians against the rising cost of living, and build the post-pandemic recovery for the economy as this begins to take shape.

On Tuesday, 11^th May, Federal Treasurer Josh Frydenberg handed down the 2021/22 Federal Budget, with a focus on stimulating the domestic economy through measures to better fund the individual taxpayer, increase consumer spending, expand incentive to businesses (allowing them to hire, innovate, and grow), and foster job creation.

On Tuesday, 6^th October, Federal Treasurer Josh Frydenberg handed down the 2020/21 Federal Budget, outlining a further $98 billion in financial economic support, however acknowledging a $200 billion deficit – the biggest since World War II.

The Australian Federal Budget has now been delivered and the Opposition has responded.

The 2017 Federal Budget has been handed down, responded to, cut up, reviewed, supported, dismissed as too Labor or too political. Whatever individual argument is thrown at the Budget, I see it as a nothing Budget – another 12 months for Australia to prod through until next May.

From 7:30pm on 13 May until 31 June 2017, small businesses with aggregated annual turnover of less than $2 million per year will be able to write off assets (up to $20,000) immediately.

It’s that time of year again where business owners assess the changes the new budget will bring and what it will mean for them. There has been a shift from the previous budget approach of "big savings and paying down debt" to "minimising impacts" with some commentators calling this an election budget.
