Backpacker tax: Federal Government backs down on plan

The Federal Government has responded to pressure and dropped its plan to introduce a 32.5 per cent tax on backpacker workers.

Instead, working holidaymakers will be taxed at 19 per cent from their first dollar earned.The Government had expected to recoup $500 million from the higher tax rate. It will now increase the Passenger Movement Charge by $5 to cover the change.

The levy was first introduced in 1995 and is currently set at $55. It is usually bundled into the cost of transport for passengers departing Australia.The tourism sector will get $10 million to market jobs to backpackers, Treasurer Scott Morrison has announced.

It is understood legislation will be required to enact the new tax arrangements.Regional Coalition backbenchers had become increasingly confident Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull and Mr Morrison would give ground on the issue.

Earlier this year, Nationals backbencher Andrew Broad first proposed a 19 per cent tax rate.Labor has refused to say what it would do if legislation came to Parliament.The Greens are opposed to any change in backpacker taxes, and have committed to vote against any increase.

It is a significant backdown for the Government, which first proposed the change in the 2015 budget, after the tax commission ruled backpackers should not be eligible for the tax-free threshold.

The issue split the Government, with National and Liberal backbenchers calling for a rethink, while Mr Morrison and Agriculture Minister Barnaby Joyce said any unintended negative consequences would be dealt with if and when they arose.

Increasingly dismayed farmers, tourism operators and regional communities said a 32.5 per cent tax on backpacker labour would be a "disaster" at harvest time.Backpackers make up 25 per cent of the farm workforce each year.In the Northern Territory, they represent 85 per cent of farm labourers.

简单翻译一下：

澳洲联邦政府放弃之前提出的针对背包客的32.5%的重税，但也不会有之前的免税优惠了，而是从挣的第一块钱开始就缴纳19%的税，这个基本跟现在新西兰的水平差不多，算是比较合理的税率。
