Backpacker tax ruling ‘not legal’
13.12.2019
The Australian Taxation Office is appealing a Federal Court ruling that the backpacker tax is not legal.
The controversial tax, introduced in 2016, means people on a working holiday visa are slugged 15 per cent tax from the first dollar earned, while Australians are not taxed on income up to a threshold of $18,200.
