Written by an expert author team, Australian Taxation Law 2017 comprehensively examines the fundamental tax legislation that underpins the Australian tax system, such as the GST, FBT, income tax and state taxes, and provides context within which to assess significant tax issues. Updated to feature extensive analysis of recent legislation, case law and rulings, this text explores key areas of change, such as the corporate tax and small business tax reforms, the projected changes to the HELP rules, the proposed backpackers' tax, and the potential changes to superannuation and tax rates. Tying all of this together is practical examples, sample calculations, extensive diagrams and flowcharts that aide in the understanding of the principles and applications of taxation law. Also included are sections of tax rates, tables and key tax websites for reference purposes, useful for students and practitioners alike.
