Resources Tax Developments

2 July 2010

On 2 July 2010, the Government announced major changes to the previously proposed Resource Super Profits Tax, including re-badging the tax as Minerals Resource Rent Tax, setting a lowered tax rate with reduced scope and more concessionary transitional rules. We have prepared a video presentation to give the Chinese investors in Australia an update on this, with associated PowerPoint slides.

澳大利亚政府于2010年7月2日宣布, 将对先前宣布的资源超级利润税方案作出重大调整, 包括启用”矿物资源租金税”作为新名称, 降低税率, 减少适用矿物种类, 以及更优惠的现有项目转入制度. 我们为中国投资者准备了相关的视频情况介绍以及PowerPoint幻灯片.
