4.3.1.30 Protection of instalment of PLP
Introduction
An instalment (1.1.I.80) of PLP is protected from sale, assignment, charge, execution, bankruptcy or otherwise by making it inalienable. However, this protection is subject to deductions authorised by the person and principally for the person's benefit, deductions for PAYG withholding, deductions to avoid an overpayment of income support due to the assessment of PLP under the income support income test, deductions relating to child support, and deductions relating to debt owed to the Commonwealth.
There are no other amounts that can be deducted by Centrelink or employer from an instalment that is payable to the person.
