The Albanese Labor Government is delivering a tax cut for every Australian taxpayer commencing on July 1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
These new tax cuts are designed to provide bigger tax cuts for middle Australia to help with cost-of-living, while making our tax system fairer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Albanese Government recognises the economic realities of 2024: Australians are under pressure right now and deserve a tax cut.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Labor\u2019s tax cuts will make a real difference for 13.6 million Australians, ensuring that hard working Australians are keeping more of the wages they earn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Building on the first budget surplus delivered in 15 years, Labor\u2019s tax cuts deliver more relief to more people in a way that is fiscally responsible and doesn\u2019t add to inflationary pressures. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Scott Morrison\u2019s tax plan was designed five years ago, before the pandemic, before the global inflation spike, before interest rate rises and greater global uncertainty. It doesn\u2019t do enough to help those who\u2019ve been put under the most pressure by these changing circumstances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We have found a more responsible way to ensure more people get a bigger tax cut to help ease the pressure they are under.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Albanese Government\u2019s tax cuts will deliver a bigger benefit for more Australians.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our plan means every Australian taxpayer will receive a tax cut this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our tax cuts are good for middle Australia, good for women, good for helping with cost-of-living pressures, good for labour supply and good for the economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
From 1 July 2024, the Albanese Labor Government will:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, the Government will increase the Medicare levy low-income thresholds for 2023-24.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This will benefit more than a million Australians, ensuring people on lower incomes continue to pay a reduced levy rate or are exempt from the Medicare levy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Labor\u2019s tax cuts will return bracket creep, increase the rewards for Australians who choose to work and earn more, boost labour supply and deliver a fairer share of tax relief to women.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cutting taxes for middle Australia is a central part of our economic plan \u2013 along with getting wages moving again, bringing inflation under control and driving fairer prices for Australian consumers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our tax cuts come on top of the billions of dollars in targeted and responsible cost-of-living relief that\u2019s being rolled out, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Albanese Government is providing meaningful cost-of-living relief in a responsible way that doesn\u2019t add to inflationary pressures, while laying the foundations for a stronger and more resilient economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The changes to the personal income tax system will have a net cost of $1.3 billion over the forward estimates. The total impact of these tax cuts is expected to be $107 billion over the forward estimates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The increase to the Medicare levy low-income thresholds is expected to cost $640 million over four years from 2023-24. This was accounted for in the 2023-24 Mid-Year Economic and Fiscal Outlook.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
