How does the budget affect us: 2019

Given the wide range of tax changes and the energy payment, nearly 85% of families (income units) will be affected by at least one measure of the tax and transfer policy changes, and nearly 90% of the population. Overall, the new measures in the budget - Favour middle and mid-high income families before 2020-21 due to the income requirement of the LMITO. - Favour mid-high income earners from 2022-23 onwards due to the reduced tax rate at mid- and high- thresholds.
