Re: LAFHA and Super

As has been mentioned - your company do noy pay you LAFHA; it is not a payment made them, it is a tax break for those eligible to receive it.

Because you have accepted LAFHA, your base salary is...

So not only are you against LAFHA, you also want to split families up and make them live away from each other as an entitlement!

Re: LAFHA under threat

In their opinion it is. The rules on LAFHA have been changed so that only those who own/rent/maintain a property in australia and work elsewhere can benefit.

Regardless of the rental income there...

Re: LAFHA under threat

It appears you seem to have a personal vendetta against anyone that gets LAFHA. If he was losing money would you be happy?

Re: LAFHA under threat

Negative gearing is probably why a hell of a lot of rentals are absolute sheds; the owners are on such a tight budget they cant actually afford to do anything with the place.....

im not telling anyone in particular. the thread is about LAFHA, and how some perceive it as 'unfair' as it is a tax break for those on a 457 visa. the link is the tax break.

Re: LAFHA under threat

as far as i am aware the only way you would be entitled to LAFHA - PR or otherwise - with the new rules is if you own/rent a property and are asked to work elsewhere in australia.

just because you...

Re: LAFHA - New Offer and July impacts?

I agree - relying on LAFHA is like relying on OT to make your wage up and get a mortgage.....
