Housing and Social Development Levy (Amendment) Bill, 2025
In plain terms
Think of the Housing and Social Development Levy like a small fee taken out of a paycheck to help fund national housing and community programs. Under this change, if you earn $520 a week or less, zero money will be deducted from your pay for this levy. Your employer still pays a 3% levy on your wages, but your personal share drops to nothing.
What This Law Does
This bill amends Section 3 of the Housing and Social Development Levy Act. It updates the contribution rate for employees earning up to $27,040.00 per year ($520.00 per week).
Key Details
- Employees making up to $520.00 a week pay 0% of their wages.
- Employers pay 3% of the wages paid to those employees.
