Seeking to shore up Australia's economy as a mining investment boom fades, Treasurer Scott Morrison unveiled tax cuts for small businesses and a jobs package for the nation's youth in his annual budget Tuesday. Here are the winners and losers:

From July 1, businesses with a turnover less than A$10 million will see their company tax rate cut to 27.5 percent from 30 percent.

The company tax rate will drop to 25 percent for all businesses over the next 10 years.
