Flood levy exemption declaration

A temporary flood and cyclone reconstruction levy (flood levy) will apply to taxable payments made from 1 July 2011 to 30 June 2012.

Employees affected by a natural disaster can be exempt from paying the flood levy.

For more information about employees who are exempt from paying the flood levy, go to flood levy information for individuals.

Employees who earn more than $50,000 in salary and wages may complete the Flood levy exemption declaration (NAT 73797) form and provide this to their employer. By completing this form the flood levy will not be included in the amount of tax taken out of their pay.

It is not compulsory that employees use this form as any flood levy amounts overpaid will be refunded in the employees 2012 income tax assessment.
