Household Assistance. Issue/measure • Provision of assistance to meet commitments to low and middle-income households for increases in the cost of living resulting from a carbon price. Description • The commitments to households are: – more than 50 per cent of the carbon price revenue will be used to assist households; – millions of households will be better off under the carbon price; – assistance will be permanent; – low-income households (including all pensioners) will be eligible for assistance that at least offsets their average expected cost impact from carbon pricing; – middle-income households will be eligible for assistance that helps them to meet the expected cost impact from carbon pricing; and – households containing individual/s with a relevant concession card and who are certified to have a medical condition or disability which would result in higher essential electricity costs are eligible for additional assistance. • The income definitions for these commitments are: Household income Single Couple without children Couple with children Sole parent Low (less than) $30,000 $45,000 $60,000 $60,000 Medium (between) $30,000-$80,000 $45,000- $120,000 $60,000- $150,000 $60,000- $150,000 High (above) $80,000 $120,000 $150,000 $150,000 • The income definitions are based on the relevant signposts in the tax and transfer system (through which assistance will be delivered). • Assistance to households will be delivered through the tax and transfer system. • The assistance has been designed so that rents for public housing tenants will not increase as a consequence of the assistance provided. • Low income households that are not fully assisted through tax and transfer arrangements will be able to apply for a Low Income Clean Energy Supplement. • The Government will facilitate an opt-in program where household assistance payments can be directed towards accredited energy efficiency measures through non-government organisations. • The following arrangements will apply to aged care residents: – household assistance will be shared between aged care providers and their residents in an approximate 55:45 split, by increasing the percentage of the basic pension payable to the provider (from 84 per cent to 85 per cent); – ‗grandfathering‘ arrangements will be established for around 2 per cent of existing residents not in receipt of a pension or other income support payment and not holding a Commonwealth Seniors Health Card (CSHC), so their fees do not increase as a result of the change ...
Household Assistance. The price of some household necessities, particularly electricity, is expected to rise, and cost the average Australian family a little less than A$10 per week. The government proposes to compensate families through changes to the income tax system averaging slightly more than A$10 per week. The tax free threshold, below which no income tax is payable, will rise from $6,000 to $19,000 per year, and additional benefits will be paid, concentrating on households with incomes under A$40,000. Business Assistance This mainly takes the form of compensation to vulnerable industries, particularly those essential to Australia’s economic health. Most exposed industries, such as coal, steel, aluminum, zinc, and pulp and paper will initially receive free permits. Energy Intensive Trade Exposed industries will be compensated to the value of lost competitiveness; this means that it will take into account the carbon taxes paid by their overseas competitors. Guaranteed compensation will be limited to five years. The Productivity Commission will be responsible for ensuring that compensation to polluters drives transformation, instead of paying polluters to continue polluting. Business will also benefit from accelerated depreciation and a government-funded Jobs and Competitiveness program.
