Australians earning the national average income will get a tax cut of more than $1,600 from 2026 onwards, according to the latest federal budget.
The new round of “modest” tax cuts form part of a slew of cost-of-living measures announced by the Treasury.
Treasurer Jim Chalmers said “families of middle Australia” would receive the most, with an average household receiving a combined benefit of “more than $15,000” over the next four years.
“We’re delivering energy bill relief to every household, even cheaper medicines, historic investments in Medicare, higher wages and a fairer go for consumers,”
he said.
Here’s what that may mean for you.

The Government has announced modest tax cuts for every Australian in a pre-Election Budget focused on assuaging voters with cost-of-living relief at a time of rising global uncertainty.
But Treasurer Jim Chalmers also handed down books that have entered the red with a $42.1b deficit and debt projected to exceed $1 trillion in the 2025-26 financial year.
On the eve of the Federal Election, the Government will be counting on voters overlooking forecasts of a decade of deficits by adding $17b in tax cuts to already announced sweeteners that include $1.8b in energy bill relief, a beefy 8.5b fund to expand Medicare bulk-billing and more affordable housing.
The plan, against a backdrop of global turmoil from ongoing conflict in the Middle East…

DNA testing company 23andMe has filed for bankruptcy and is seeking new ownership after its CEO resigned following multiple failed takeover attempts.
The US-based firm, which has used saliva samples to identify more than 15 million customers’ ancestry and potential predispositions to health issues, cut around 40 per cent of its workforce last year and has seen weakening demand since a 2023 data breach.
Customers have been told their personal data “remains protected” as the company seeks a buyer for a court-supervised sale.
Company chair Mark Jensen said 23andMe was “committed to continuing to safeguard customer data and…

Insolvencies in England and Wales have increased, according to recent statistics.
The Insolvency Service revealed that corporate and personal insolvencies rose by 2.9 per cent and 4.1 per cent respectively in February compared to January.

She explained that compulsory liquidations are often initiated by HM Revenue and Customs or local authorities as a last resort.
The increase indicates a toughening stance towards debts owed by companies to the public sector.
Ms Jordan said: “A number of…
