Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This certificate extends the life of Australia's income tax regulations by two years.

Under Australian law, most regulations are automatically repealed after a set period—this is called "sunsetting." The Income Tax Assessment Regulations 1997 were scheduled to sunset (expire) on 1 April 2019. This instrument pushes that date back to 1 April 2021.

What this means:

The tax regulations continue to operate until April 2021 instead of expiring in April 2019
Taxpayers and businesses can rely on the existing rules for an additional two years while the government reviews them
The certificate itself disappears on 2 April 2021, the day after the new sunset date
