The coalition has outlined its vision to grow the number of small companies in Australia in four years by 350,000 if they are chosen, and offers to give start-ups a leg-up with new tax offset.
As part of the plan, new companies recorded would only have to pay tax on part of their income in their first three years of operation, in an attempt to have them invest more in their company.
The coalition said it wanted to see that Australians have the confidence to take a risk and start a new company – which contributes to the 2.5 million small companies that are already active throughout the country.
According to the proposed “entrepreneurship rapid” scheme, companies should only pay tax on 25 percent of the first $ 100,000 in income in the first year.
They would also only be taxed at half of the second $ 100,000 earned.

The offset would decrease in the second and third year.
In year two they would pay taxes at 40 percent of the first $ 100,000 in income, and 60 percent of the second $ 100,000.
The following year the companies would pay taxes at half of the first $ 100,000 in income, and 70 percent of the second $ 100,000.
Dutton says that the plan will ‘restore trust’
To be eligible, a company must meet the definition of small companies, so fewer than 20 employees and an aggregated turnover of less than $ 10 million.
They must also be admitted to Australia.
The criteria also states that a company cannot have more than 20 shareholders, plus one of those shareholders must have more than 10 percent of the company.
Opposition leader Peter Dutton said that the plan would “restore trust, save time and save costs”.

“Today I say to owners and employees of small companies, help is on the road,” he said in a statement.
“Our policy offers immediate lighting, as well as measures to support small and family businesses to grow and create jobs in the future.“
Companies for investments and real estate development would be excluded.
Depreciation for technical upgrades
As part of the promise, the liberal party will also offer small companies a tax debit on technological upgrades to encourage companies to be digitally smarter.
Companies would be able to claim a tax deduction of $ 2,000 for upgrades worth $ 4,000 or more.
The upgrades can include for e-commerce, software, hardware, cyber protection and digital marketing efforts.
The coalition said that the offer would be available for all small companies, not just new ones.
The liberal party says that the two policy would cost $ 330 million in four years.

Labor to protect the criminal rates
In the meantime, Labor has unveiled plans to protect legislation against a reduction in the fine rates for employees working under a price.
The plan lands as retail, administrative and bank groups insist to make changes to the use of rates.
During an entry with a Fair Work Commission Review, the Australian Retailers Association proposed to be able to unsubscribe from fines, overtime rates, some reimbursements and schedules in favor of a wage increase of 25 percent.
Labor has already intervened in that matter to claim that the proposal would leave employees thousands of dollars worse.
Employment and workplace relationships Minister Murray Watt said that employees should be compensated for working weekends.
“We will introduce legislation to ensure that employees do not have their wage reduction and that their fines are protected in the future,”
he said.
About 3 million Australians are working under prices that explain the minimum wages and conditions for employees.
