Expert insights into the 2023-24 Australian Federal Budget
On May 9, Treasurer Jim Chalmers will hand down the Australian Federal Budget for 2023-24. After a cautious budget in October, this time Treasurer Chalmers claims to have a bold vision to create new opportunities for economic participation among Australia's most vulnerable citizens.
A pre-budget survey conducted by RSM Australia identified cost-of-living relief for households as the top priority for most respondents. As the Albanese government promises to promote "values-based capitalism" and deliver energy price relief to Australians on fixed payments and low incomes, the question remains: will these measures result in tangible benefits for struggling taxpayers?
Join our esteemed panel of finance commentators, economists, and RSM tax specialists for an exclusive webinar as they delve into the 2023-24 Budget and unpack its implications for you, your family, and your business.
Don't miss this unique opportunity to learn directly from the best in the industry.
