    • $2000 Cap on Work-Related Self Education Expenses Update

      01 Jul 2013 8:29 AM | Deleted user
      On April 26, AuSAE informed our members of the Government’s plan to implement a $2,000 cap on work related education expense deductions from 1 July 2014. On behalf of our members AuSAE released a media statement and wrote to the Government outlining our concerns about this policy and the significant impact this policy will have on the Australian non-profit sector. The Government has now contacted AuSAE regarding the release of a new discussion paper titled Reform to deductions for education expenses. We are asking all members who will be affected by this proposed cap to read this discussion paper and to submit your view. The Government will accept written and electronic submissions until 12 July 2013. AuSAE is working hard to have this issue resolved favourably and will keep you up to date with any developments.

      President of AuSAE

This app provides us with a channel to get that information to you. The app provides you with a great way to keep up-to-date with current information and news on the global association sector… and saves you having to spending hours sifting through hundreds of e-bulletins for the few good bits.
