4 HECS & HELP MEASURES The income threshold for repayment of Higher Education Loan Programme (HELP) debts will be reduced from 1 June The new minimum threshold is estimated to be $50,638 in HELP debts (which are currently indexed annually based on Consumer Price Index (CPI) will have annual indexation applied at a rate equivalent to yields on 10 year bonds issued by the Australian Government. The 25% loan fee currently applied to FEE-HELP loans and the 20% loan fee currently applied to VET FEE-HELP loans will be removed, reducing the inequity that existed between students with HELP loans who are not required to pay such fees.

In addition the income thresholds for the CHSC will be indexed annually to the CPI from 20 September Payments of the Senior Supplement will also cease after the June 2014 payment Date of effect 1 January 2015 NEW SUBSIDY FOR EMPLOYERS HIRING AUSTRALIANS 50 YEARS OR OVER The Government has announced that employers can receive up to $10,000 in Government assistance if they hire a job-seeker aged 50 or older under its new "Restart" program. The program will replace the current Seniors Employment Incentive Payment and will be partly funded through savings from the abolition of the Mature Age Workers Offset. Under the program, eligible employers will receive $3,000 if they hire a full-time mature-age job seeker who was previously unemployed for a period of 6 months and employ that person for at least 6 months. Further, once that jobseeker has been working for the same employer for 12 months, the employer will receive another payment of $3,000. Finally the employer will then receive a further $2,000 once the same job seeker has been with them for 18 months and $2,000 again at 24 months. To be eligible for the assistance, employers will need to demonstrate that the job they are offering is "sustainable and ongoing", and that they are not displacing existing workers with subsidised job seekers. Date of effect - 1 July 2014 Page 5
6 REDUCTION IN R&D OFFSET RATES The rates of the refundable and non-refundable R&D tax offsets will be reduced by 1.5 percentage points, with effect from 1 July 2014: The refundable offset is available to R&D entities with an aggregated annual turnover of less than $20m and will be reduced from 45% to 43.5%. The non-refundable offset is available to R&D entities that do not qualify for the refundable offset and will be reduced from 40% to 38.5%. Date of effect - from 1 July SUPERANNUATION WITHDRAWAL OF EXCESS CONTRIBUTIONS Non-concessional superannuation contributions are contributions which are not included in the assessable income of the receiving superannuation fund, (eg non-deductible personal contributions made from the member's after-tax income) The annual non-concessional contributions cap is currently $150,000 (but rising to $180,000 from ). The bring-forward rule currently allows a one-off non-concessional contribution for those under 65 of up to $450,000 over 3 years (or $540,000 over 3 years from ). Currently, superannuation contributions that exceed the non-concessional contributions cap are taxed punitively at 46.5% (47% from 1 July 2014). For any excess contributions made after 1 July 2013, the penalty regime for certain breaches will be relaxed. The Government will allow individuals the option of withdrawing superannuation contributions in excess of the non-concessional contributions cap made from 1 July 2013 and any associated earnings, with these earnings to be taxed at the individual s marginal tax rate, This measure seeks to provide relief for superannuation members where an inadvertent breach the contribution caps would result in a disproportionate tax penalty, however those who leave the excess contributions in the super fund will still face punitive tax penalties. Date of effect - from 1 July 2013 Page 6
7 SUPERANNUATION DEFERRAL OF SUPERANNUATION GUARANTEE INCREASE Compulsory superannuation guarantee contributions will rise from the current rate of 9.25 per cent to 9.5 per cent from 1 July 2014 and remain frozen for four years until June It will then rise by 0.5 percentage points each year until it reaches 12 per cent in SUPERANNUATION GUARANTEE CHARGE RATES FINANCIAL YEAR RATE (%) % % % % % % % % % % Date of effect - from 1 July 2014 Please Note: Many of the comments in this publication are general in nature and anyone intending to apply the information to practical circumstances should seek professional advice to independently verify their interpretation and the information's applicability to their particular circumstances.
