Treasurer Josh Frydenberg is challenging Labor to back the Government’s $158 billion income tax cut package when Parliament resumes in the new financial year.
The government is planning to put the full package to Parliament to prevent Labor backing tax cuts for those on lower incomes while rejecting those for wealthier workers.
Mr Frydenberg says it’s important the tax changes are dealt with as a package, as the changes are not just about immediate tax relief but also long-term structural reform.
