Depreciation on buildings with a life exceeding 50 years was removed, resulting in an increase of tax paid on property, and Loss Attributing Qualifying Companies were abolished and replaced with Look-through company, subject to much tighter rules.

The 2010 Budget included new spending of $1.8 billion in health, education, research and broadband rollout.

The Budget forecast a return to fiscal surplus in 2016.
