Treasurer Josh Frydenberg is being urged to bring forward the government's planned personal income tax cuts to deliver a much-needed boost to the post-pandemic economy as the Reserve Bank warns the coronavirus will cast a shadow for years.

Westpac chief economist Bill Evans has urged the Morrison government to bring forward its legislated tax cuts to deliver a boost to the economy.Mr Frydenberg has pushed back the budget to October, with the government already warning it will show a record deficit after a huge shortfall in the current financial year. At the end of April, the budget was showing a deficit of $40 billion.as key government support, including the $70 billion JobKeeper wage subsidy program, is withdrawn.

This second tranche of tax cuts pushes the 19 per cent tax rate threshold to $45,000 from $41,000, with the low-income tax offset increased to $700 from $645. The 32.5 per cent tax rate threshold will jump to $120,000 from $90,000.

Hey sydney morning heres a photo of the rally maybe you forgot to actually do your job . it's ok over a million people watched online.

If they don’t cut personal tax rates immediately I fear we will experience a cock and balls shaped economy recovery.

2. I don't want a tax cut. I want the Govt to use that money to start nation building projects that have privatization potential. Wages earned by employees on these projects, will create a 'multiplier effect' to our coffers in turn pay down our debt. Need money to make money

1. It is not a tax cut. It is a long overdue normalisation of tax bracket creep. It is to bring forth the tax bracket to match with inflation. 1/2.

Oooh yay...tax cuts then the inevitable austerity...something to look forward to in a depression.

need a job first

Because they’ve totally proved helpful every other time they’ve done it. 🙄

Let's try to buy our way out of our corruption and obvious ineptitude at running our country. Labour Party tactics 101, we can bribe our voters to over look anything and the media will get on board.
