Plain-language summary
Written by a model from the explanatory memorandum; not the record, as at 2014-05-13.
This bill is one of fifteen in a package that introduces a three-year budget repair levy starting in the 2014-15 financial year.
The levy would add two per cent tax on taxable income above $180,000, and would also adjust rates currently linked to the top personal marginal rate.
People with a taxable income of $180,000 or less would not pay the levy, unless a tax integrity rule applies the top rate to certain income.
- Introduces a progressive budget repair levy as additional income tax on individuals for three years from 2014-15.
- Adjusts tax rates that are based on the top personal marginal rate or a calculation including the Medicare levy.
- Sets the levy rate at two per cent for each dollar of taxable income over $180,000.
Australian resident and foreign resident individuals with taxable incomes over $180,000.
