Last night Labor handed down its first Federal Budget since the election earlier this year. To help you determine how the Budget impacts you and your business we have put together A Guide to the 2022-23 Budget 2.0..
Key measures include:
• Child care subsidy increase
• Added flexibility and an expansion of Paid Parental Leave
• Aged care reforms

• The scrapping of the initiative to self-assess the effective life of intangible assets
