No new taxes in Drummoyne under a Liberal Government

1 March 2023

A re-elected Liberal Government will guarantee that there will be no new taxes on households and small businesses in the next term of government in Drummoyne.

Liberal candidate, Stephanie Di Pasqua, said that this NSW Liberal’s guarantee would provide certainty to businesses and family budgets across Drummoyne.

“Since 2011, the Liberal Government has made 33 tax cuts which has put $10.5 billion back in the pockets of those who need it most,” Ms Di Pasqua said.

“Taxes, under a NSW Liberal Government, will always be lower in Drummoyne”.

“Only a re-elected Liberal Government can commit to no new taxes thanks to our long-term economic plan to keep our state moving forward.”

The NSW Liberal Government has slashed payroll tax nine times, saving thousands of businesses over $5 billion. We’ve also increased the taxable income threshold by $522,000 to $1.2 million, meaning small businesses are no longer burdened with any pay payroll tax and medium-sized businesses are saving $28,500 a year.

Our landmark stamp duty reforms, which give first home buyers the choice of paying a small annual fee instead of a large upfront stamp duty payment, will save families $900 million over the next four years.

By contrast, during their last term of government – NSW Labor introduced or increased taxes at least two dozen times.
