The federal government recently announced its intention to bring forward previously legislated tax cuts for small and medium businesses with turnover of $50 million or less. The government’s preferred option for companies in this category is for their tax rate to drop to 25 per cent by 2021-22. Internal Treasury papers indicate that this option would cost the budget $3.6 billion over the four-year, forward estimates period. It would allow the government to achieve its self-imposed plan that tax revenue not exceed 23.9 per cent of GDP by 2020-21, a year earlier than intended.
