Paddy Crumlin 30 Jun 2010
The union has continued to lobby Government on all aspects of shipping policy. Most recently, National Secretary Paddy Crumlin urged that should the Commonwealth Government adopt a comprehensive shipping policy which includes one or more fiscal measures such as a Tonnage Tax, Accelerated Depreciation, relief from the Royalties Withholding Tax for bareboat charters, Ships Capital Grants, Roll-over relief and/or seafarer taxation concessions, resource companies stand to gain considerable taxation benefits that will substantially offset liabilities under the Resource Super Profits Tax.
