Summary

Part of a package of three bills in relation to the Seasonal Labour Mobility Program and other taxation matters, the bill amends the:

Income Tax Assessment Act 1936
,
Income Tax Assessment Act 1997
,
Income Tax (Transitional Provisions) Act 1997
and
Taxation Administration Act 1953
to apply a new final withholding tax to income derived by non-resident workers participating in the Seasonal Labour Mobility Program;
Excise Act 1901
and
Excise Tariff Act 1921
to specify the circumstances where blending the same types of gaseous fuels or the same types of aviation fuels, which have been taxed at different rates, are not treated as excise manufacture and are therefore subject to additional duty;
Income Tax Assessment Act 1936
to retrospectively clarify that trust beneficiaries who are minors cannot receive the low income tax offset for unearned income earned through trust distributions; and
Income Tax Assessment Act 1997
to: provide income tax exemptions for clean energy payments made to recipients of payments made under certain schemes; and make the employment termination payment tax offset dependent on an individual’s total taxable income.

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.
