Property Tax Plan Modified By Caucus
A Canberra caucus meeting defeated a full rejection of the 10 per cent property income surcharge from the September Budget. The economic and trade committee proposed exemptions for annual incomes up to 5000 and phase-in between 5000 and 8500, with the amendment not to proceed being defeated. The plan would affect about 500000 taxpayers and halve expected revenue to 25 million. Cabinet endorsement was anticipated, with tacit support from the Treasurer and Prime Minister. A Liberal government would repeal the surcharge for uneared incomes after taking office, according to opposition leader Snedden.
