Travelpress: Reef ‘tax on tax’ removed

A "tax on a tax" that has been paid by visitors to the Great Barrier
Reef is to be scrapped.

A law removing the GST from the marine park's environmental tax has
been passed by the Senate, AAP reported.

Tourist operators had been fighting for the change for several years,
claiming the tax on a tax was unfair.

Revenue Minister Helen Coonan said the tax office was considering the
matter of returning to operators any GST that had been paid, the
report said.

The Barrier Reef is believed to attract about two million visitors
each year and is considered one of the most popular ecotourism sites
in the world.
