Slide 1 of 5 - Budget in brief - Here's a super-quick guide to cost-of-living relief in this year's federal budget. There's a permanent $250 tax offset for workers from the 2027-28 income year, which will benefit more than 13 million people.

The government will increase the Medicare levy low-income thresholds for singles, families, seniors and pensioners by 2.9 per cent from the 2025–26 income year. And from 2026–27, a new instant tax deduction of up to $1,000 will simplify work-related expense deductions.
