Progressive Coal Royalties Protection (Keep Them in the Bank) Bill 2024
This bill locks in Queensland's progressive coal royalty rates by preventing them from being reduced through regulation alone. Any future government wanting to lower coal royalties must pass legislation through Parliament, ensuring public debate and transparency.
Revenue Legislation Amendment Bill 2022
This bill implements major revenue changes from the 2021-22 and 2022-23 State Budgets. It reforms land tax to account for interstate property holdings, introduces higher coal royalties during high price periods, creates a mental health levy on large employers, and provides various stamp duty exemptions for small businesses, retirement visa holders, and deceased estates.
Royalty Legislation Amendment Bill 2020
This bill changes how Queensland calculates petroleum royalties and modernises royalty administration for both petroleum and minerals. From 1 October 2020, petroleum royalty is based on production volume rather than the previous complex 'wellhead value' method, providing greater certainty for the coal seam gas and LNG industry.
Revenue Legislation Amendment Bill 2018
This bill implements several 2017-18 state budget measures and election commitments affecting property duty, vehicle registration, first home buyer grants, land tax, payroll tax, and mining royalties. It increases taxes on foreign property buyers and luxury vehicles while extending benefits for first home buyers and employers of apprentices.
Coal Mining Safety and Health and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2022
This bill makes practical adjustments to coal mining safety employment rules and supports Queensland's critical minerals sector. It allows coal mining companies more flexibility in staffing safety-critical positions while maintaining the core protections for workers, and introduces rent deferrals for new critical minerals mining leases.
Revenue and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2019
This bill implements the 2019-20 Budget revenue measures, making significant changes to land tax, payroll tax, and petroleum royalties. It raises taxes on large landholders and foreign property owners while providing relief for small businesses, regional employers, and those who hire apprentices.
