Labor has indicated that it will not oppose tax cuts in the April 2019 Budget if they largely benefit people on low and middle incomes. Changes to the Low Income Tax Offset are expected to be among the tax reforms to be outlined in the Budget. The tax cuts and one-off cash payments to offset rising energy costs are likely to be put to parliament on 3 April, with a view to making it harder for Labor to repeal them if it wins the election. Opposition Leader Bill Shorten contends that Labor’s tax cuts package will be of more benefit to 10 million working Australians than the Coalition’s policy.
