Dear FOI,

No 

We are wanting the documents that exist to support this clean “ exemption to implement the ruling in the 2020/21”

You have not provided the details 

Yours sincerely,

Trent Morrison-Francis

Good afternoon Mr Morrison-Francis,

  

 Thanks for your enquiry.

  

 To assist with your own understanding, we are not saying that CSC has an
 exemption to comply with the [1]Commissioner of Taxation v Douglas [2020]
 FCAFC 220 ruling.  

  

 As the communication you refer to mentions ‘as directed by the ATO, CSC
 will report all applicable DFRDB and MilitarySuper invalidity benefit

 payments that were made for the 2020/2021 Financial Year to the ATO as a
 lump sum payments’. We would reiterate that CSC has an exemption to
 implement the ruling in the 2020/21 financial year while we continue to

 update our pension benefit payment system and apply the new tax rates.


  

 You can locate more information here: [2]Tax Changes to Invalidity
 Pensions (csc.gov.au)

  

 We trust this clarifies the matter for you.

  

 Best regards,

  

 Adam Ivancic

 Parliamentary and Information Release Coordinator
