Treasury’s pre-election budget update confirms the job recovery is underway, according to TCCI CEO, Michael Bailey. 

 

“This is a fantastic achievement by Tasmania’s business community and shows that with the right support, our business sector will do the heavy lifting,” Mr Bailey said. 

 

“The Treasury report shows an astonishing increase in state tax and particularly Tasmania’s share of GST. With the State headed for surplus sooner rather than later now is precisely the time to look at tax relief to take the handbrake of Tasmanian businesses. 

 

“It’s also vital that the next government addresses the capacity issues that are holding the state back from rolling out its infrastructure plan, obviously reforming TAFE is a key part of the plan.”
