deanhewitt Posted May 17, 2011 Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 Hi there, With regards to LAFHA firstly you need to make sure that your employer supports this as it is something that they have to implement as you cannot claim this directly. There is also certain criteria that you need to qualify for this and the type of visa will also depend on your claim. ie, if you are on a 457 visa then it will help you qualify. If you have a PR visa then you will not qualify. Here are 2 links that you can read through which will give you more information http://www.smeba.com.au/computing-the-value-of-lafha-living-away-from-home-allowance/ http://www.lafha.com.au/Home.aspx One of the key things I have been told is that you still need a residency in the UK otherwise it is hard to prove that you are 'Living away from home' good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
