  • Iv. Trade Policies by Sector
    Australia WT/TPR/S/178/Rev.1 Page 73 IV. TRADE POLICIES BY SECTOR (1) OVERVIEW 1. In order to aid transparency and facilitate analysis of the potential impact of government assistance on the allocation of resources between sectors, the Productivity Commission publishes annual estimates of several key types of assistance, using, for example, effective rates of assistance (ERAs).1 Among the main forms of assistance captured by ERAs are: tariff protection; budgetary assistance2; and agricultural pricing and regulation. According to estimates for 2003/04, the latest year for which indicators are available, the ERA was virtually zero for mining, which accounts for around half of merchandise exports and is one of the major driving forces behind Australia's recent strong economic growth. The ERAs for primary production (including agriculture) and manufacturing were low, at only 4.1% and 4.5%, respectively.3 However, these averages mask a significant variation in rates within sectors. At the high end are textiles, clothing and footwear (TCF) and motor vehicles and parts (MVP), with rates of 24.2% and 10.6%, respectively, although these may have fallen as a result of Australia's unilateral reduction in the tariffs for these sectors in 2005. At 12%, the ERA of the dairy industry is also relatively high, albeit significantly lower than prior to its deregulation in 2000.4 For technical reasons, no estimates of ERAs were available for services. 2. The services sector dominates Australia's economy, accounting for nearly two thirds of GDP and roughly three quarters of employment in 2004/05. During the period under review, government assistance to services has been increasing, mainly owing to measures to encourage investment, R&D, and exports.

It applies to the company’s taxable income, which is the total of assessable income minus allowable deductions. Tax Rate 30 percent to all companies that are not eligible for the lower company tax rate. Eligibility for the lower company tax rate depends on whether you are a ‘base rate entity’ from the 2017–18 income year. Special rates apply to life insurance companies, non-profit companies and credit unions. From the 2017–18 income year, companies that are base rate entities will be taxed at the lower company tax rate of 27.5 percent. A base rate entity is a company that is carrying on a business and has an aggregated turnover below the turnover threshold (AUD25 million for the 2017–18 income year).
