More on Australias Marriage Tax

So I have recently received a response for further information to the Gillard Governments announcement of an Australian Marriage Tax (aka Professional Celebrants Fee).

It is rather disspointing. There really is no information.
Further reference to the "extensive and close" consultation, adequate resourcing and enforcement were all used as justification for the introduction of the fee.

The AG Department as still no indicating any direction or clear policy on what direction they expect to go with this new fee. This Marriage Tax.

A lot of discussion has centered on the question of "same-sex" marriage. Whether Australia moves forward with this is not, it is important to realise it will be ALL couples hit by these new fees.

The increased costs on celebrants will be passed on to ALL couples intending to marry. The introduction of this Marriage Tax in Australia MUST be stopped.

Please see the following link for details on how you can be involved in the consultation process.
