Summary

Amends the taxation laws to: standardise the primary eligibility criterion for small business tax concessions; increase the capital gains tax maximum net assets threshold to $6 million, and the simplified tax system (STS) turnover and goods and services tax cash accounting turnover threshold to $2 million; extend the small business roll-over relief available under the uniform capital allowance system to small business entities that have adopted the simplified depreciation rules; remove the $3 million depreciating assets test from the STS eligibility requirements; and give STS taxpayers access to the fringe benefits tax car parking exemption and to pay-as-you-go instalments.

We acknowledge the traditional owners and custodians of country throughout Australia and acknowledge their continuing connection to land, waters and community. We pay our respects to the people, the cultures and the elders past, present and emerging.
