Senator Fielding raised his concerns about the impact on farmers and tourism operators with the government. The government will support Senator Fielding’s amendments to provide a refund of the increase in the luxury car tax to eligible primary producers and tourism operators. The government is satisfied that the amendments will not impose an undue burden on business and have protections in place to reduce the possibility of abuse.
