The start of the new financial year will be marked by the granting of cost-of-living relief including cuts to energy bills, a rise in the minimum wage, and a slight increase in Centrelink payments.



New year, new change. From

July 1, Australians can look forward to tax breaks, an increase in the minimum wage for women workers, and employment will begin to see the energy requirements announced in the federal budget as emerging in their national budget bills.

This is what you need.

Energy bill waivers

More than 10 million respondents will get a $75 credit at the end of the year, but they will receive an annual credit of $325 below the sweetener announced in the May budget.

Some in Queensland and Tasmania, there will be bonuses on July 1, with the government guaranteeing them bill relief of $1,000 and $250 respectively. All Australian households will receive an average tax cut of more than $2,000, ormore than $40 per week.

The new tax cuts, which apply to “central Australia” and those facing the cost of living, were approved by the federal parliament earlier this year. It does not

depend on the form of a lump sum payment. Instead, taxpayers will continue to be included in their payment packages.
Experts say, for example, that a person with $60,000 a year would see a weekly increase in the amount of money they bring in about $23. Someone with $120,000 a year would receive just like $52 more per week.

A household whose income is about $130,000, while making $80,000 and the other $50,000, will receive around $50 a week. To calculate the
