The State Government is making South Australia a better place to do business by providing almost $670 million in tax reductions over the next four years.
By abolishing business stamp duties, the State Government has removed a significant cost to business investment and expansion, making it easier and cheaper for business migrants to set up and expand their own businesses in South Australia.
