Government’s tax changes benefit members with a terminal illness

The government has introduced new tax arrangements which will benefit members with a terminal illness. The arrangements will allow the ATO to vary the rate of withholding tax for some terminally ill members who receive a lump sum.

CSS members who are leaving work because they are terminally ill may be eligible for this tax concession. To be considered for the concession, members should include medical documents which show they are terminally ill (according to the ATO definition) when forwarding their benefit application.
