“The Federal Government is expected to announce a new levy on banks set to start in 2016 to help fund any future bailouts. The levy will start on January 1, 2016 and will be set at 0.05 per cent on deposits of up to $250,000. It is understood the levy will raise $733 million in its first 18 months. The money raised will go into a new Financial Stability Fund and will be used in the event of a bank collapse. The Financial Stability Fund will appear as revenue in the budget, as the Government grapples with revenue shortfalls ahead of releasing its economic update.”
