    Confidence we could see an uptick in offshore infrastructure investment under tax setting changes

    Confidence we could see an uptick in offshore infrastructure investment under tax setting changes


    The Government's set aside 65-million dollars over four years to loosen the capitalisation rules for investors - that could be putting them off.

    Dentons tax partner Bruce Bernacchi says this is a more tax-efficient way of funding infrastructure.

    He says if you don't allow infrastructure to be funded in a way that's economically viable, we're just not going to get the investment we need from offshore.

    The Government's also allocating 10-million dollars to help start ups attract staff by deferring taxes on shares.
