  • The majority voted in favour of a [motion](https://www.openaustralia.org.au/senate/?gid=2018-06-20.203.1) that [part 3 of schedule 2](https://parlinfo.aph.gov.au/parlInfo/search/display/display.w3p;db=LEGISLATION;id=legislation%2Fbills%2Fr6111_first-reps%2F0002;query=Id%3A%22legislation%2Fbills%2Fr6111_first-reps%2F0000%22;rec=0#06c0bf62a9b749438782b0b635fbf6c5) stand as printed. This means that that part will remain as it is. The vote was put after South Australian Senator [Tim Storer](https://theyvoteforyou.org.au/people/senate/sa/tim_storer) moved that it should be opposed.
  • ### What is Part 3 of Schedule 2?
  • According to the [bills digest](https://www.aph.gov.au/Parliamentary_Business/Bills_Legislation/bd/bd1718a/18bd115):
  • > *Part 3 of Schedule 2 amends the Rates Act to subsequently repeal the tables containing the new tax rates that apply under the PITP [Personal Income Tax Plan], as they are superseded by further changes. The personal income tax rate and threshold tables that apply in 2018–19, 2019–20, 2020–21 and 2021–22 would be repealed from 1 July 2024 and the income tax rate and threshold tables that apply in 2022–23 and 2023–24 are repealed from 1 July 2026.*
  • >
  • > *Despite the repeal of the tables, item 25 states that the rates and thresholds in the repealed tables continue to apply to the relevant income years.*
