No FIFO tax changes due: Frydenberg

Resources Minister Josh Frydenberg says the government is not planning to make any changes to fly-in fly-out worker tax arrangements.

The issue of whether to encourage mining companies to house their workers locally or keep in place incentives to fly them in and out is contentious especially in regional West Australian and Queensland seats ahead of the July 2 election.

About a quarter of all Australian resources workers are under FIFO arrangements, including about 60,000 in Western Australia.

Mr Frydenberg, who is in regional WA on Monday, told ABC radio he was consulting on ways to "get the balance right".

But he noted that company costs must be contained to ensure mining operations can remain viable.

Mr Frydenberg said a number of people had raised the issue of tax breaks with him.

"We are not about to make any changes, but I do want to look at all the issues involved in FIFO," he said.
