MaxPay enables you to be paid using the Living away from home allowance (LAFHA) meaning that if you take a job through one of our 3 recruitment companies in the Sydney office or any other recruitment company you will have a higher take home income.
Essentially the LAFHA is a tax-free allowance used by temporary overseas skilled workers and working holiday makers in Australia to offset additional expenses and discomfort incurred while living away from your usual home for a defined period of time.
Note: Your Working Holiday Maker visa, does not automatically entitle you to LAFHA. It is based on your intention to ultimately return to the vicinity of your primary residence and this intention is reassessed every 12 months.
The LAFHA benefit generally arises where your employer pays you an allowance as compensation for additional non-deductible expenses and other disadvantages that you incur because you have to live away from your usual place of residence in order to do your job.
