The Government's set aside 65-million dollars over four years to loosen the capitalisation rules for investors - that could be putting them off.
Dentons tax partner Bruce Bernacchi says this is a more tax-efficient way of funding infrastructure.

The Government's also allocating 10-million dollars to help start ups attract staff by deferring taxes on shares.
