Charles Croucher: 9News Chief Political Editor on Australia's tax break for workers and the introduction of a capital gains tax

from The Mike Hosking Breakfast · host Newstalk ZB

It's unclear if the Australian Government's latest tax breaks for workers will make much of a difference.   The Labor Government's raising taxes on investment properties and some trust funds to pay for a $250 tax break.  It will apply to 13 million Australians and come into effect in 2028.  9News Chief Political Editor Charles Croucher told Mike Hosking it's on top of similar tax breaks coming this year and next year.  He says it's giving some relief to that tax-bracket but it's a pittance compared to current inflation and interest rates.   LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
