Stage 3 Personal Tax Cuts Now Law!

CoggerGurry • March 12, 2024

The much-discussed stage 3 personal tax cuts have now passed through Parliament and become law, receiving royal assent on 5 March 2024.  These new measures modify the personal tax rates and thresholds for the 2024-25 financial years onwards.   


Cost of living pressure has driven the change to redistribute the savings to direct more into the hands of low and middle-income earners.  Analysis by Treasury shows the redesigned personal tax cuts will spread the benefit of the tax cuts more evenly so regardless of your income you should receive a tax cut of between 1.5 to 2.5 per cent of taxable income (see chart below).

It is important for individuals to understand that if you are a salary/wage earner these tax cuts will be built into the PAYG Withholding tax that your employer withholds on your behalf.  This will mean more money in your regular pay cheque throughout the year and not as a lump sum when lodging your tax return.   


The tables below show tax rates and thresholds that you can expect to pay in tax for the current year 2023-24 and next financial year 2024-25.

If you've driven past our office recently, you may have noticed some changes underway! We're excited to share that installation of our new Brentnalls Western Victoria signage has commenced. Like many outdoor projects, the recent weather has caused a few delays, but we're looking forward to seeing the finished result once the weather improves! The rebrand represents an exciting new chapter for our firm, while maintaining the same trusted team, local knowledge and commitment to supporting our clients. We think it will be well worth the wait!
