Victoria expands scheme to subsidise ceiling insulation installations
The Victorian government has expanded the Victorian Energy Upgrades (VEU) program to include upfront discounts on ceiling insulation. The government says households could save more than AU$400 a year on power bills.
Why it matters: Insulation installers, builders and carpenters in Victoria may see more demand as upfront discounts make ceiling insulation cheaper for households. Accredited providers should check the VEU requirements.
Come walk a day in the shoes of small business
The Housing Industry Association (HIA) is asking government ministers and policymakers to spend a day working alongside a small business. It wants this to happen before they bring in more taxes, reporting requirements, compliance obligations or cost increases.
Why it matters: Small building trade businesses, including builders and subcontractors, carry the load of new taxes, paperwork and compliance rules. HIA is pushing for policymakers to understand that burden before adding more.
Government provides breathing space for builders and tradies on ATO credit card ban
The Federal Government has agreed to delay the ATO's proposed ban on credit card payments for tax debts. The Housing Industry Association welcomed the move, which gives builders and tradies more time to prepare.
Why it matters: Builders and tradies who pay ATO bills by credit card keep that option for now. This gives them time to adjust cash flow and find other ways to pay tax obligations.
