Backpacker tax delay welcomed, but more work needed
WAFarmers has welcomed the Federal Government’s announcement to delay the implementation of the proposed backpacker tax until January 1 2017, subject to a multi-department Federal Government review to be led by the Minister for Agriculture, Barnaby Joyce. Following extensive work from key industry groups to persuade the government to change the proposed tax, Assistant Treasurer Kelly O’Dwyer today announced that the introduction of the tax would be delayed, following a whole of government review.
