Changes to personal income tax

The Federal Government recently announced tax cuts for all Australian individual taxpayers, effective from 1 July 2024. This means that every taxpayer will be paying less tax beginning this July.

This change will be reflected as a small boost in our payslips each pay period.

Here are the relevant income thresholds which will apply:

Current income thresholds (2023-2024) Current tax rates (2024-2025) New income thresholds (1 July 2024) New tax rates (1 July 2024)
Earn up to $18,200 Pay no tax Earn up to $18,200 Pay no tax
$18,201 – $45,000 19% (on each dollar earned) $18,201 – $45,000 16% (on each dollar earned)
$45,001 – $120,000 32.5% (on each dollar earned) $45,001 – $135,000 30% (on each dollar earned)
$120,000 – $180,000 37% (on each dollar earned) $135,001 – $190,000 37% (on each dollar earned)
Greater than $180,000 45% (on each dollar earned) Greater than $190,000 45% (on each dollar earned)

 

This decision represents a change in previous legislation which was originally going to provide a bigger personal income tax cut for high income earners. The Labour Government states that these changes have been made in a bid to provide cost-of-living relief.

Further information can be found on the ATO website or Treasury’s tax cut calculator.
