The Budget Repair Levy was the big talking point of the 2014 Federal Budget, but don't ignore the other tax changes announced.

The worst kept secret was confirmed, that from 1 July 2014, a temporary three year Budget Repair Levy will apply to individuals earning over $180,000. Combined with the increase in the Medicare Levy, it means the top marginal tax bracket will be 49%.

Other Budget matters highlighted by Michael include the announced company tax decrease to 28.5%, the increased super guarantee to 9.5%, and the sensible decision to  allow excessive non-concessional contributions to superannuation to be removed without penalty. Now that's good news!
