While the Australian economy seems to have survived the GFC better than most countries, interest rates are on the rise and the Federal Government needs to fund the pump priming expenditure incurred in response to the GFC. The Henry Tax Review recommendations have been with the Government since December 2009, and the Federal Government has promised to release details of this before its election year budget is handed down on 12 May 2010.
HopgoodGanim's Budget Briefing looked at the impact of the budget on SME business owners and their families, focusing on tax changes, the potential risks and opportunities coming out of the budget, and the Henry Review. The briefing also identified some practical steps to take to safely navigate through the changing Australian tax system.
