When is the Federal Budget?

Unless a federal election is called beforehand, the 2025-26 Budget is scheduled to be held on 25 March 2025. This is earlier than previous years for the simple reason that a federal election must be held on or before 17 May 2025.  If there is an election called before 25 March 2025, the 2025-26 Federal Budget will have to be delivered later in the year.

Will corporation tax change in the Budget?

We are unlikely to see any changes to the headline corporation tax rate in the upcoming Budget, but the Government has already implemented many multinational tax reforms in Australia, including the imposition of a global and domestic minimum tax rate of 15%. 

Will there be more tax cuts in the Budget?

The Government has already legislated personal tax cuts for every individual taxpayer that took effect from 1 July 2024.

Could tax changes feature in this Budget?

It remains to be seen whether the Government chooses to adjust Australia’s tax settings to stimulate economic growth and productivity, help small business, support the net zero plan and/or provide further cost of living relief to individuals
