In accordance with the provisions of Determination DET-05/03, as published in Tax Information Bulletin Vol 17, No 10 (December 2005), Inland Revenue advises that the weekly standard-cost component for the 2011 income year, is retrospectively adjusted as follows:

1. The weekly standard-cost for one to two boarders will increase from $232 each to $243 each.
2. The weekly standard-cost for third and subsequent number of boarders will increase from $189 each to $198 each.

The above amounts have been adjusted in accordance with the annual movement of the Consumers Price Index for the twelve months to March 2011, which showed an increase of 4.5%.  For boarding service providers who have a standard 31 March balance date, the new amounts apply for the period from 1 April 2010 to 31 March 2011.
