Land tax exemption for not-for-profit community associations


————————————————————————————————————————————————————————– 2012–13 2013–14 2014–15 2015–16 2016–17 Estimate Budget Estimate Estimate Estimate ————————————————————————————————————————————————————————– Operating revenue — -359 -368 -378 -387 ————————————————————————————————————————————————————————–

The government will extend the scope of land tax exemptions available for land used for sporting and recreational activities to a wider range of not-for-profit community associations that provide services or support to the community. Associations that provide services or support to the community, in areas such as literature, science, the arts and preserving traditional cultural heritage, may now be eligible for a land tax exemption on the land used for these activities.

The extension will apply to land held from 30 June 2013.

The land tax relief grant scheme for not-for-profit multicultural organisations that has been administered by Multicultural SA will no longer be required.

Multicultural SA will continue to administer a land tax relief grant scheme available to eligible for-profit ethnic community organisations where those organisations can demonstrate that land tax has caused financial hardship.

Stamp duty exemption for corporate reconstructions


————————————————————————————————————————————————————————– 2012–13 2013–14 2014–15 2015–16 2016–17 Estimate Budget Estimate Estimate Estimate ————————————————————————————————————————————————————————– Operating revenue — -500 -500 -500 -500 ————————————————————————————————————————————————————————–

The government will provide a stamp duty exemption for all eligible corporate reconstructions that occur from 1 July 2013. This will mean that for eligible transactions, there will be no stamp duty imposed on assets transferred as part of a legal change in a corporate ownership.

The stamp duty exemption will replace the corporate reconstruction ex-gratia relief administrative scheme that is currently provided by the government, which provides relief for corporate reconstructions of up to 95 per cent of duty otherwise payable.

The eligibility criteria for qualifying corporate reconstructions will be consistent with the criteria applying under the current administrative scheme. A stamp duty exemption will be provided on transfers of assets between members of a corporate group that simplify or rationalise a group structure that does not involve any change in the ultimate beneficial ownership of the asset. The transfer must involve ‘substantially all’ of the assets of the transferor that has been a member of the same corporate group for three years prior to the transfer.

This measure will provide stamp duty certainty and will make it easier for entities to restructure the legal ownership of assets to meet business requirements.



Small business payroll tax concession


————————————————————————————————————————————————————————– 2012–13 2013–14 2014–15 2015–16 2016–17 Estimate Budget Estimate Estimate Estimate ————————————————————————————————————————————————————————– Operating revenue — -10 500 -11 100 — — ————————————————————————————————————————————————————————–

The government will provide a payroll tax concession for employers with taxable payrolls less than or equal to $1.2 million. The concession will be determined by applying concessional tax rates to eligible employers’ 2012–13 and 2013–14 taxable payrolls. Eligible employers will receive the concession following finalisation of the relevant annual payroll tax reconciliation process.

The concessional tax rates include a maximum payroll tax rate reduction of 2.45 percentage points for employers with taxable payrolls up to $1 million. The payroll tax rate reduction will phase out for employers with taxable payrolls between $1 million and $1.2 million according to the schedule below.

Annual payroll^ Statutory tax rate Concessional tax rate

It is estimated that around 2200 employers will benefit from this initiative with a maximum concession of $9800 available in each of the two years. The table below summarises the payroll tax concession that will be available to eligible employers.

This will provide total payroll tax relief of around $21.6 million and is intended to support small and medium enterprises.

The government has agreed key operating and taxation conditions that are expected to apply to the Adelaide Casino from 1 July 2013.

These arrangements will enable the Adelaide Casino to offer internationally competitive premium gaming and to provide the necessary regulatory certainty to make an investment decision about expanding the Adelaide Casino as part of the Adelaide Riverbank Precinct.

As part of the new arrangements, the government has agreed that the Adelaide Casino will be able to operate 1500 gaming machines, up from 995, and 200 table games up from 90, either on the main gaming floor or in premium gaming areas.

The new arrangements include revised tax rates for gambling undertaken at the Adelaide Casino. The new taxation rates are summarised below.

The government will extend the Housing Construction Grant (HCG) for six months to provide additional support to the state’s housing construction industry. This is estimated to cost $38.6 million (excluding administration and system costs) over two years.

Since the HCG was introduced in October 2012, the housing construction market has shown signs of improvement with recent dwelling commencement and building approvals data showing some early indications of a pick-up in activity from levels recorded in mid-2012. The extension of the HCG for a further six months will support the consolidation of this improved outlook for the housing construction sector.

The HCG of up to $8500 will be available for all eligible new home purchase contracts entered into between 1 July 2013 and 31 December 2013 (inclusive). All other terms and conditions of the HCG will remain unchanged.

The initiative includes additional operating expenditure of $50 000 and capital expenditure of $80 000 in 2013–14 for administrative costs and system changes to implement the extension of the HCG.

This initiative provides $1.5 million for the master planning and design of the site of the existing Royal Adelaide Hospital, to be vacated in 2016. A design process will be undertaken, recognising the unique opportunity that this site represents for Adelaide.

Under current arrangements, the targeted voluntary separation package (TVSP) scheme allows for a maximum payout of 116 weeks pay (calculated as 20 weeks base plus 3 weeks per year of service). From 1 July 2014, this is to be amended to operate on the basis of a maximum payout of 52 weeks pay (calculated as 10 weeks base plus 2 weeks per year of service). This will bring the scheme closer to arrangements that apply in other states.

As part of a commitment to pay its fair share of the increased costs resulting from the Equal Remuneration Order (ERO) for workers in the social and community services sector the government previously announced that additional funding totalling $5.8 million in 2012–13, rising to $132.0 million per annum from 2021–22 would be provided to eligible non-government organisations that provide services on behalf of government.

Following further consultation with the non-government sector the government has increased the level of funding by $597 000 in 2012–13 rising to $13.5 million by 2021–22.

The increase is partially met by additional Commonwealth Government revenue for joint funded programs.

This initiative provides an additional $450 000 in 2013–14 for a broad review of the justice system. Combined with existing resources the total funding for the review is $1 million.

The justice reform project will provide better community outcomes by identifying and streamlining key processes in the justice system, to ensure that justice processes are more efficient and effective and that more timely positive outcomes are delivered.

The South Australian Civil and Administrative Tribunal will become the primary venue for the review of administrative decisions that are currently reviewed by a variety of different bodies including ministers, boards, committees, appellate tribunals and courts. This will strengthen access to justice for the community by creating a single, easy to find, easy to use body with simple and consistent processes for the fair and independent resolution of disputes relating to administrative decisions.

The tribunal will be under the part-time direction of a President and Deputy President, holding concurrent offices of a Supreme Court judge and District Court judge respectively.

The application fee for the Residential Tenancies Tribunal will be increased from $37.50 to $50.00 to contribute towards the cost of implementing this measure.

This measure extends the 2012–13 Mid-Year Budget Review efficiency dividend of 1.0 per cent of agency net cost of services to 2016–17.

As with the existing efficiency dividend, agencies will have flexibility to tailor savings to their particular operating structures to help ensure that more efficient ways of conducting business are pursued.

The 2011–12 Budget provided additional expenditure of $5.4 million per annum (indexed), for the operations and maintenance of the South East drainage system from 1 July 2011. This included capital replacement costs of $1.6 million per annum. The additional expenditure was to be funded by levy revenue from beneficiaries of the drains from 1 July 2012. The cost recovery element was subsequently delayed to commence 1 July 2013 while the expenditure continued.

This measure reduces revenue and expenditure by $5.7 million in 2013–14 due to delays in introducing the cost recovery element of the 2011–12 Budget measure. The implementation of the levy and the expenditure that it is to fund are now budgeted to commence from 1 July 2014.
