Parliament approves increase in income tax threshold

The House of  Representatives on Tuesday approved an amendment to the Income Tax Act, effectively raising the threshold amount at which a person begins to  income tax.

The amendment has moved the income tax threshold from $507,000 per annum to $557,000.

It was passed last Friday by the Senate as well.
   
Finance Minister Dr. Peter Phillips led the motion in the House, after provisionally announcing the change last year.
