“Reducing the proposed tax rate from 32.5 per cent to 19 per cent will maintain Australia’s status as one of the most competitive destinations for working holiday-makers, while ensuring they pay a fair level of tax,” Mr Taylor said.

“From the fruit orchards in the Wollondilly to the sheep producers in the Boorowa district, agriculture and local tourism make a fundamental contribution to many local economies in Hume.

“Lowering this tax and reducing the application charge for working holiday-maker visas by $50 to $390 will give incentives for working-holiday makers to visit and work in the electorate.

“It also means that Hume’s agricultural regions can continue to rely on strong seasonal labour support.”​

More than 1700 stakeholders contributed to the review. The new taxes start January.
