Former Queensland Nickel worker complains to ATO after payout results in tax debt

ABC  

A former Queensland Nickel refinery worker says she has made a complaint to the Australian Taxation Office over her entitlement payment from the company funded by businessman Clive Palmer. Key points: The former QN worker said on her PAYG summary the payment was being treated as a salary rather than a redundancy She has opened a tip-off form to the tax office so it can investigate whether to change the classification To get the payment, former employees had to sign an agreement that they would not make disparaging remarks about Mr Palmer In April, Mr Palmer said he had set up a trust fund for QN workers' outstanding payments and paid back $7 million — years after the Townsville refinery closed. "There may be claims that redundancy payments exist but I find that difficult unless their employment contracts say otherwise," Mr Popham said. A spokesperson for the Attorney-General's Department said "the total amount paid under the Fair Entitlements Guarantee to former Queensland Nickel employees was $66,862,313.99".
