Looks like the proposed 32% tax rate has been cut to 18%. Super though is going to get gouged at 95%, was it always that high? http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-3748267

Generally for Tax Residents Its taxed at 15% unless you are a high earner ie (super contributions of over 30k a year) then you are looking at 30%

It's now 19% from the 1st $ and the tax free threshold is gone. Effective tax is around 25%

Super is 95% tax if claimed before maturity, before it was 35% with exception to Pacific Islander seasonal workers was 15%
