Written by a model from the explanatory memorandum; not the record, as at 2014-06-25.
The bill would freeze the income thresholds for the Child Care Benefit at their 30 June 2014 levels for three years from 1 July 2014.
It amends the A New Tax System (Family Assistance) Act 1999 to stop indexation of those thresholds until 1 July 2017.
The standard hourly rate, minimum hourly amount and multiple child loadings for the Child Care Benefit would still be indexed each year by the Consumer Price Index.
