AUSTRALIA — The Australian government says it will support imposing a 15% tax rate on working holiday visitors from overseas.
The new “backpacker tax” proposal is lower than the government’s original plan for a 32.5% rate, which angered tourism and farming operators.
They feared taxing temporary workers 32.5 cents on every dollar would make it unattractive to come to Australia.
About 600,000 backpackers travel to Australia every year, many of them finding work picking fruit.
