Ruling
Subject: Excepted person
Question
Are you an excepted person for the purposes of subsection 102AC (2) (d) of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936 (ITAA 1936)?
Answer

Division 6AA of the ITAA 1936 imposes a higher rate of tax on ‘eligible taxable income” derived by a person who is less than 18 years of age at the end of the year of income if they are not an “excepted person”.
An excepted person’ is defined in subsection 102AC(2) of the ITAA 1936 when the Commissioner has received a certificate issued by a qualified medical practitioner certifying that the minor is a disabled child within the meaning of Part 2.19 of the Social Security Act 1991 on the last day of the income year.
You have supplied a medical certificate from a medical practitioner certifying that you are a child under 16 years who is suffering a disability permanently. The Commissioner is satisfied that you are an excepted person under subsection 102AC (2) of the ITAA 1936.
