Australian Taxation Office

Taxation Administration Act 1953

Variation of amount required to be withheld

I, John Michael Becker, Assistant Commissioner of Taxation, vary the amount to be withheld from a withholding payment that is:

• covered by Subdivisions 12B or 12D of Schedule 1 to the Taxation Administration Act 1953; and
• within the class of cases described below.

The amount of withholding is varied to the amount calculated using the rules set down in NAT 12005, PAYG withholding guide – a guide for payers participating in Community Development Projects (CDEP).

I make this variation of the amount required to be withheld under the powers contained in section 15-15 of Schedule 1 to the Taxation Administration Act 1953 to meet the special circumstances of that class of cases.

Effective for payments made on or after 1 November 2004.

Class of cases

Payments which include amounts paid:

1.   as a wage to a participant in a project under the Community Development Employment Projects (CDEP) program from the wages component of a grant made under the program,

2. by way of a benefit under Part 3.15A of the Social Security Act 1991 (CDEP Scheme Participant Supplement) and

3.   as top up payments associated with these payments.
