Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

This determination treats a one‑off ex gratia payment made by the Victorian Taxi Services Commission to eligible taxi or hire‑car licence holders (continuous registration from 15 August 2016; capped at four licences) as an exempt lump sum for social security purposes (ss4–5).

Made under the delegate’s power in s8(11)(d) of the Social Security Act, it mechanically prevents that gross payment being counted in means tests, changing how recipients’ income is assessed without altering who must pay the assistance (s3, s5).
