Summary

Part of a package of eight bills to reform the legal and governance framework for Norfolk Island, the bill amends the:

Income Tax Assessment Act 1936
and
Income Tax Assessment Act 1997
to: remove an income tax exemption available to Norfolk Island residents, companies and trustees on income sourced from Norfolk Island and outside Australia; and to remove the full exemption from the Medicare levy for residents;
Income Tax (Transitional Provisions) Act 1997
to apply transitional arrangements to the capital gains tax liabilities of resident entities; and
Superannuation Guarantee (Administration) Act 1992
to: remove superannuation guarantee exemptions that apply to employers and employees in relation to work performed on Norfolk Island; and establish transitional arrangements which will phase in the superannuation guarantee over the next 12 years.

We acknowledge the traditional owners and custodians of country throughout Australia and acknowledge their continuing connection to land, waters and community. We pay our respects to the people, the cultures and the elders past, present and emerging.
