Income Tax Assessment Act 1936

and Taxation Administration Act 1953
to apply a new final withholding tax to income derived by non-resident workers participating in the Seasonal Labour Mobility Program; Excise Act 1901
and Excise Tariff Act 1921
to specify the circumstances where blending the same types of gaseous fuels or the same types of aviation fuels, which have been taxed at different rates, are not treated as excise manufacture and are therefore subject to additional duty; Income Tax Assessment Act 1936

to: provide income tax exemptions for clean energy payments made to recipients of payments made under certain schemes; and make the employment termination payment tax offset dependent on an individual’s total taxable income.
