Regardless of who wins the election, one of the first orders of business will be passing the required legislation for the training and technology incentives in the recent budget, according to minister for small business Stuart Robert.
On a recent CPA Australia podcast, he said bipartisan support meant the measures, which give 120 per cent deductions for spending on skills and digital uptake by small businesses, should be passed within two weeks of the next Parliament sitting.
He confirmed that the ATO would already be working on the measures with a view to rapid legislation.
“The tax office generally takes a view that if there is a bipartisan support and it’s announced, that it will be accepted,” he said.
“All budget measures get priority. They get a T status, which is the Treasury status, of course, which indicates they must be passed within a sitting fortnight. So you can expect that to move very quickly.”
