Winners:

Small to medium-sized companies

Company tax rate cut for 870,000 companies with annual turnover less than $10 million; additional 90,000 small businesses can access tax concessions; among other measures


Those earning more than $80,000

Get a modest tax cut, through increasing second-highest tax bracket from $80,000 to $87,000

All business, in time

Company tax rate to fall from 30 per cent to 25 per cent over next decade

Losers:

Anyone earning less than $80,000

Multinational tax dodgers

So-called Google tax to penalise large multinationals that attempt to shift their Australian profits offshore to avoid paying tax


Smokers

Four annual 12.5 per cent increases in tobacco excise to lift price of packet of cigarettes to about $40 by 2020.
