Taxable payments reporting for government Taxable payments reporting for local government entities started on 1 July 2017. This means you need to be collecting information about payments you make to businesses for services so you are ready to report to the ATO your Taxable payments annual report. The information reported to the ATO will be used in the ATO’s pre-filling service to make it easier for individual businesses to lodge their tax returns. It will also allow the ATO to identify businesses that haven't included all their income in their tax return or haven’t lodged and checked compliance with GST obligations. The first annual report for the 2017-18 financial year is due by 28 August 2018. More information is available on the ATO website at www.ato.gov.au/tparGov 2017 National Disability Awards nominations now open It's time to recognise the outstanding achievements of individuals and organisations helping improve the lives of people with disability.

The facility will be located at Wickham Point on the Middle Arm Peninsula adjacent to Darwin Harbour near Darwin, NT. The proposed project will include gas liquefication, storage and marine loading facilities and a dedicated fleet of ships to transport LNG product. A subsea pipeline supplying natural gas from the Bayu-Undan field to Wickham Point and a similar, but smaller 3 MTPA LNG plant were the subject of a detailed Environmental Impact Assessment process and received approval from Commonwealth and Northern Territory Environment Ministers during 1998. The environmental assessment of the expanded LNG facility is being conducted at the Public Environmental Report (PER) level of the Northern Territory Environmental Assessment Act and the Commonwealth Environmental Protection (Impact of Proposals) Act.

  • Northern Territory Government Response to the Senate Inquiry Into Regional Inequality in Australia
    Northern Territory Government Response to the Senate Inquiry into Regional Inequality in Australia 1. Background and context On 14 February 2018, the Senate requested that the Senate Economics References Committee conduct an inquiry into and report on the indicators of, and impact of, regional inequality in Australia. 2. Introduction The Northern Territory has a geographically dispersed and isolated population base. Three quarters of the population reside in the Territory's five regional centres (Darwin, Nhulunbuy, Katherine, Tennant Creek and Alice Springs), which also serve as vital supply and service bases for smaller remote communities. The majority of Territorians live in Darwin and the satellite city of Palmerston and surrounds (the current population of Darwin is 143 6291), and the Central Australia region (including Alice Springs) is the second most populated area. The remainder of the population lives in Katherine, Tennant Creek and the coastal town of Nhulunbuy or in the hundreds of other small remote outstations and homelands throughout the Northern Territory. The Northern Territory economy is largely cyclical and project-based, and prone to volatility, particularly once transition from investment to less labour intensive operational phases of major projects occurs. The short-term nature of construction employment associated with major projects causes the Northern Territory to experience volatile population growth - population surges during the construction phase of major projects and workers (and their families) often leave the Northern Territory once highly paid project-related construction jobs finish. The government sector, mining and manufacturing and construction play a large role in the Northern Territory economy, contributing 50.6 per cent collectively to the Territory economy and 56.9 per cent of employment in 2015-16.
