Offset

Description

SAPTO

The Senior Australians and Pensioners Tax Offset (SAPTO) is a tax offset designed to ease the financial burden on eligible seniors and pensioners by reducing the amount of income tax they pay.

Depending on your age, relationship status and income, it could provide an offset of up to $2,230 for singles and up to $3,204 for couples.

LITO

The LITO is a tax offset available to Australian residents who earn less than $66,667 per year. The offset reduces the amount of tax payable by a maximum of $700 for individuals who earn less than $37,500 per year.

How do the Tax Thresholds change over time?

Unlike some countries where tax brackets automatically adjust with inflation, Australia’s tax thresholds do not change unless the government passes new tax reforms. This means that tax brackets often stay the same for years at a time.

Since income generally increases over time due to wage growth and inflation, but tax thresholds remain fixed, Australians experience bracket creep - where a greater portion of their income moves into higher tax brackets, increasing their tax burden even if their real purchasing power hasn’t changed.

Canwi does not automatically adjust tax thresholds over time - we assume tax rates remain as they are until an official policy change is implemented. In future, we plan to introduce an option to adjust tax rates over time, allowing you to account for bracket creep in your financial projections.
