The proposal would remove the Goods and Services Tax (GST) on residential building materials at the final point of sale. Under the proposal new residential buildings would be effectively exempt from GST.
The exemption would not include renovations and additions, and the Commonwealth would compensate states and territories for any decrease in GST revenue.
The policy would commence on 1 January 2025, and conclude after 5 years.
