Australian Gov To Impose New Resource Rent Tax From July 2012- Mining companies: '40% of profit on mineral resources projects will curtail investment'

摘要

The Australian Federal Government has announced that it will impose a new resource rent tax on mineral resources companies. The proposed launch of the new tax is in line with the government's tax reform policy. The government expects to have tax revenues of approximately 12 billion Australia dollars (11 billion US dollars) during two years following the implementation of the resource rent tax on mineral resources to pay for infrastructure, retirement and company levy changes.
