BioForum – What does the Budget mean for you? A KPMG update for BioMelbourne Network members
October 22, 2020 @ 4:00 pm - 5:00 pm AEDT
Event Navigation
The 2021 Federal Budget introduced a number of large stimulus measures to encourage business to spend big and drive a return to economic prosperity. This briefing will provide valuable and informative insights into the economic situation confronting the Federal Government and examine how 2021 Budget measures are proposed to generate economic activity and rebound from impacts of the pandemic. KPMG Tax specialists will discuss overall impacts of the Budget on the broader health sector, including key corporate and personal tax measures likely to impact businesses and senior executives. The briefing will also highlight a selection of newly announced grant programs, positive changes to the R&D Tax Incentive and the associated effects of these changes on the sector.
Given the prominent role the Federal Government will play in supporting business activities either directly or indirectly for the foreseeable future, you really can’t afford to miss this briefing!
