Federal Budget – Key Takeaways

On 11 May, the Government released the Federal Budget for 2021/22.

Continuing the theme from the Budget in October 2020, this budget was designed to stimulate the economy and create new jobs.

While generally a positive budget for privately owned businesses, on the whole there is not much in the way of key insights that need to be urgently implemented.

Summary

  • 1-year extension to the Loss Carry-Back provisions
  • 1-year extension to the Immediate write-off of depreciable assets
  • No mention of Super Guarantee Charge (SGC) rate changes – therefore 10% SGC applies from 1 July 2021
  • “Work Test” changes for Super Contributions for members who are 67 to 74 years old for Salary Sacrifice and Non-Concessional Contributions (Concessional Contributions are excluded from this update)
  • Removal of $450 monthly salary for Super Guarantee Contributions (may apply from 1 July 2021 depending on when legislation receives royal assent)
  • New rules relating to ATO debt recovery for small businesses
  • Changes to timing of the taxing point for Employee Share Schemes
  • Updates to residency tests for Companies and Individuals
  • No further update was provided regarding Div 7A and Pre December 2009 UPE changes
