“LAFHA – AUSTRALIAN LIVING AWAY FROM HOME ALLOWANCE REFORMS HAVE BEEN DEFERRED TO OCTOBER 1, 2012
Expat International has been advised that LAFHA changes announced in the Federal Budget on May 8 and scheduled for implementation on July 1 have been deferred until October 1, 2012. Please refer to: http://www.lafha.com.au/Home.aspx
Employers have necessarily made urgent arrangements to prepare for the sudden and mandatory curtailment of LAFHA, and while the 3 month extension will be welcome, this latest news can only compound the recent challenges confronted by all concerned regarding alternate arrangements for LAFHA recipients.”
