CR 2013/74A1 - Addendum

Income tax: early retirement scheme for Griffith University

Addendum

This Addendum is a public ruling for the purposes of the Taxation Administration Act 1953. It amends Class Ruling CR 2013/74 to reflect a variation to extend the time period for eligible employees to express an interest in the early retirement scheme and the time period for when an offer will be made.

CR 2013/74 is amended as follows:

This Ruling continues to apply after 30 June 2014 to all entities within the specified class who entered into the specified scheme during the term of the Ruling. However, the Ruling will not apply to taxpayers to the extent that it conflicts with the terms of a settlement of a dispute agreed to before the date of issue of the Ruling (see paragraphs 75 and 76 of Taxation Ruling TR 2006/10).

2. Paragraph 15

Omit the paragraph; substitute:

15. The class of employees to whom the Scheme applies are:
