These tax cuts are set to reshape Australia’s budget
Men on high incomes to take lion’s share of Coalition’s $184bn tax cuts, analyses find
The stage 3 tax cuts will go mainly to male, high income taxpayers. Half will go to the top 10%, 72 per cent going to the top 20 per cent while the bottom half get only five per cent and the bottom 20 per cent get nothing. Men will get twice as much of the tax cut as women.
