  • temporarily capping the inflation adjustment for excise duties on alcohol, increasing the air travellers security charge, amending various acts to implement changes to electronic filing, payment and correspondence requirements,
  • extending the expiry date of the general preferential tariff and least developed country tariff,
  • removing Belarus and Russia from the list of countries entitled to the most-favored nation tariff treatment, and
