There is no denying it, new taxes are rare, and when they are introduced they are often met with considerable resistance, and just as much media fanfare. So why has the new tax, otherwise known as Division 293 had a relatively silent upbringing? Well, because it affects the vast minority, in fact for it to impact you your income, including superannuation must be over $300,000. If you earn over this then this podcast is for you.

The third tranche of the government stimulus package has just been announced, and this is centred around a $130 billion stimulus payment, with indications the Government are not done yet. The Government has now contributed $320 billion to the Coronavirus fight, which accounts for 16.4% of GDP. 

This latest stimulus package is built around a $1,500 per fortnight gross payment to employees.

On March 23rd parliament passed legislation that would see the updated COVID-19 Stimulus Package introduced by the Government become law. This carries with it changes to the cashflow assistance as well as the widening of other assistance payments. The changes are vast, and the impacts will hopefully be positive for you, and the economy at large.

Updated Stimulus Package (WAP050)

The Government's $17.6 billion stimulus package is set to have far reaching impacts on the economy, without, apparently, impacting Australia's national credit rating. How? By breaking it down in to 4 manageable components. Specifically, the stimulus package was basically broken in to the following  aspects:

1. Delivering support for business investment
2. Cashflow assistance
3. Stimulus payments to households
4. Assistance for the severely affected areas

Hence the term Phoenix, it is essentially a company that rises form the ashes of another.
