Budget 2022: Josh Frydenberg aims to ease cost-of-living pressures ... (The Australian Financial Review)

Welfare recipients will receive $250 each in April, while low and middle income earners will get a new $420 tax offset in the new financial year.

The cost of supermarket staples has increased sharply since the pandemic began. But the new tax offsets will cost $4.1 billion. After concessional prescription holders reach the threshold they are eligible for free or further discounted medicines. Previously, the full offset was worth $1080 for singles, in annual tax returns from the ATO. The lowering of the threshold means it will be reached with about 12 fewer scripts a year, and two fewer for general patients. The cash will be tacked on to the final year of the existing low and middle income tax offset, and be paid out in tax returns after the end of the current financial year.
