It’s a mammoth task to keep up to date with the status of different pieces of tax legislation even at the best of times. This year, it might simply feel like an impossible task. That’s where our State of Tax Policy Report: December 2020, comes in.

The report, prepared by our Senior Advocate, Robyn Jacobson, CTA, lays out the status of key tax and superannuation legislative measures you need to know about. Some key areas covered include:

• Enacted bills, with a breakdown of the measure, the details of the bill and its start date.
• Information on JobKeeper and JobMaker Acts and related legislative instruments.
• Bills that are not proceeding.
• Bills before Parliament and their status at the time Parliament adjourned for the year.
• Exposure draft legislation.
