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.
