Some Good News.... FINALLY Quote from the Financial Review, Monday the 23rd of September 2013 “Tax office told: LAY OFF CONTRACTORS” “The Abbott government has begun reshaping Australia’s workplace system by reversing a ‘concerted attack’ by The Australian Taxation office and other government agencies on self- employed people and independent contractors under Labor. Within a day of being sworn into a portfolio that has been ELEVATED TO CABINET STATUS, Minister for small business Bruce Bilson warned that the ATO – along with the Fair Work Ombudsman and the construction watch dog- should stick to the letter of law in the TREATMENT OF INDEPENDENT CONTRACTORS ‘We’ll be having those discussions with the ATO and we’ve already had early discussions within the Treasury with officials about this area,’ Mr Bilson told The Australian Financial Review. ‘The issue is less about the law itself; it’s the way in which it has been administrated. He said former Labor government had instructed agencies, including the Ombudsman and Fair Work Building and Construction task force to crack down on contractors, in order to push more people toward union friendly arrangements” LET’S HOPE THIS IS THE START OF SMALL BUSINESS OWNERS BEING ABLE TO BREATH
