The Federal Budget’s come and gone, and with it, news on the new ‘Netflix tax’ that’s set to charge an additional 10% GST on online digital purchases.

It’s bittersweet news today, as it’s come to light that the new tax won’t go into effect until 1 July 2017.

You can head to ABC’s Winners and Losers website for more information on the Budget itself.

Steve's the owner and Editor-in-Chief of Stevivor.com, the country’s leading independent video games outlet. Steve arrived in Australia back in 2001 on what was meant to be a three-month working holiday before deciding to emigrate and, eventually, becoming a citizen.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.

Aside from video games, Steve has interests in hockey and Star Trek, playing the former and helping to cover video games about the latter on TrekMovie.com. By day, Steve works as the communications manager of the peak body representing Victorians as they age.
