The Albanese government is heaping pressure on the Dutton opposition to support its income tax changes, releasing its own analysis showing up to 89% of taxpayers in some regional and suburban Coalition electorates will be better off.

About 85% of taxpayers in Liberal and National electorates will be better off under Labor’s plan than stage three, or 3.4 million people out of a total of 4 million, according to analysis released by the office of the treasurer, Jim Chalmers.
