Pensions Tax Free.
As from 1 April 1990 all Government Superannuation Fund pensions became free of tax, therefore members no longer need to declare their allowance to the Department of Inland Revenue.
Earnings Certificates
may be supplied on request as proof of income for Community Services Card, Disability Allowance etc. Please contact Datacom GSF Schemes Administration if you require an Earnings Certificate or Cost of Living Advice Notice.
Payment to Overseas Bank Account.
Certain countries have been approved by theGSFAuthority for the
payment of annuities to members located overseas. If you elect
to become a permanent resident overseas, it may be possible for
you to have your allowance paid into an overseas bank
account. Please contact Datacom GSF Schemes Administration if
you require more information. Please note - a fee of $5.00 for
each four weekly payment processed is charged when the annuity
is paid into an Australian bank account and $15.00 when
paid into a bank account in other countries. Also, additional
personal information, such as your date of birth and
address may need to be provided to the paying bank as part of
their anti-money laundering processes.
Datacom GSF Schemes Administration should be notified of any
change to your address as a certificate requiring confirmation
of the member's whereabouts is sent annually to all members in
receipt of an annuity who are resident overseas. Failure to
return the certificate will result in suspension of the
allowance.
