LABOR HAS BETTER SMALL BUSINESS TAX PLAN
CHRIS BOWEN MP
The Treasurer’s lack of policy agenda today has continued, preferring to talk about ‘Labor’ and patently lying about Labor’s small business tax policies.
Labor will continue to call out this dishonest Government and their lack of a real policy agenda every time.
CLAIM: Further, Labor has previously said it would change the legislated definition of small business, denying businesses with turnover between $2 million and $10 million access to important tax measures, denying around 100,000 small businesses access to the instant asset write-off and denying around 30,000 small businesses access to the unincorporated tax discount.
FACT: Labor has committed to keeping the definition of small business, with all of the relation small business tax concessions, at the $10 million turnover. Furthermore, Labor’s Australian Investment Guarantee will allow small, medium and large businesses to immediately deduct upfront 20 per cent of all new investments, with the remaining depreciated in line with normal depreciation schedules.
Unlike the Government’s proposed big business company tax cuts, the Australian Investment Guarantee will guarantee that every dollar spent underpins new investment.
The Australian Investment Guarantee is well targeted, fully funded and affordable. It is cost-effective and fiscally responsible, funded by Labor’s reforms to the tax system.
With Labor, just like under the Liberal Party, small and medium-sized businesses with a turnover of up to $50 million a year will have their tax rate reduced to 25 per cent by 2021-22.
With a Shorten Labor Government – 99 per cent of businesses will receive a tax cut, no business will have their tax rate increased, and all businesses will be able to plan and invest with confidence and certainty.
