Federal Budget Debrief Webinar presented by William Buck

More than just an analysis, this webinar will outline practical steps to benefit from budget measures by structuring your affairs accordingly. Join the William Buck expert panel as they unpack Labor’s ‘Responsible Budget’ address. What can we expect in the 2023-24 Budget?   Australia’s economic climate continues to present significant challenges to the Federal Government in designing a Budget which manages short term issues and longer-term structural needs. Ian Cattanach, Director, Business Advisory and William Buck’s Federal Budget Spokesperson on Manufacturing, shares his comments on the Federal Budget “Given the fiscal tightening that is expected in the Budget, it would be a shame to see any of the promised support for the Manufacturing sector wound back. The sector requires continued and unwavering support in order to strengthen and maintain recent growth – particularly in the face of economic uncertainty and supply chain issues.” REGISTER HERE To find out more about the Federal Budget Debrief Webinar, contact William Buck vicmarketing@williambuck.com
