About the module

This short course focuses on the 2024-25 Federal Budget, delivered in May by Treasurer Jim Chalmers.

From a tax perspective, the Budget was not particularly exciting. The cornerstone announcement was the already known revisions to the stage 3 personal income tax cuts.

However, that's not to say that no new tax measures were announced. The extension of the $20,000 instant asset write-off will be sure to please small business clients, and the introduction of two new production tax incentives will also be of interest to those in the energy sector.

This update covers all the key Federal Budget announcements, as well as the main measures from the 2023-24 Mid-Year Economic and Fiscal Outlook, across a variety of taxes.
