The Federal Treasurer, Mr Wayne Swan, presented the Rudd Government’s budget on 11th May 2010. The Treasurer indicated the budget was a “no frills budget” and it was. This series of posts incorporates a summary of matters within the Federal Budget, the Henry Review and other initiatives that have commenced in 2010 that may affect SME operators. Other than those items which have already commenced in 2010, none of the items contained within the budget, nor the Henry Committee Review, will become law until the budget and the various Henry Committee Review recommendations have been passed by the House of Representatives and the Senate, and signed by the Executive Council.
