Labor to cut tax benefit for parents who don't immunise children - ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation) »
The Federal Government will announce parents who choose not to vaccinate their children will miss out on thousands of dollars in tax benefits. Prime Minister Kevin Rudd will announce that those who do not vaccinate their children will not get the Family Tax Benefit A end-of-year supplement. The payment is worth more than $700 per child, per year and is paid when children are vaccinated at one, two and five years of age. Labor will shut off the payment to conscientious objectors, who can currently still claim the tax benefit if they register. Source Main page (current trends)
