Legislation to continue for another five years the Government's export incentives scheme was introduced in the House of Representatives today.

Explaining the bill, the Treasurer, Mr W. Mc-Mahon, said it would revise the payroll-tax rebate scheme which, with the income tax concession scheme, formed the export incentive. Legislation to alter some provisions of the income tax concession scheme was now being drafted for the Budget session. The payroll-tax scheme, based on export performance, provided a financial benefit in the form of a rebate of payroll-tax paid, The current scheme, which expired on June 30, had encouraged export activity, but the Government recognised the need for some reforms. 'SIMPLIFIED' The major change was a new and simplified formula for calculating the amount of tax rebate.

Another alteration would permit exporters to carry forward export results to gain greater rebates. Other provisions were changes in the types of export activity eligible for rebate, to include the full value of unassembled or partly assembled goods and the export of "certain know-how and professional services." Excluded from the scheme would be exporters of petroleum products, minerals, mineral concentrates, alumina and iron pellets or other agglomerates, all fields which the Government believed did not have the need for a challenge in the Interna G.P.s, Dr Davies said. tional Court, but lets act "This is a wonderful EXPERIENCE The Government will pro scheme for getting a young silent on gains tax CANBERRA, Thurs vide the country doctor with rellow who already had adequate training out into first and argue on the international complications later."
