" The Assistant Treasurer has released a public consultation paper regarding tax breaks for redevelopments that will substantially improve the energy efficiency of existing buildings.

From 1 July 2011, the Tax Breaks for Green Buildings scheme will offer businesses that invest in eligible assets or capital works to improve the energy efficiency of their existing buildings - from 2 stars or lower to 4 stars or higher - the ability to apply for a one-off bonus tax deduction of 50% of the cost of these improvements.
