The Winter Energy Concession on gas provides concession card holders with a discount of 17.5 per cent off mains gas bills from 1 May to 31 October of each year.
From 1 July 2012 the concession will not apply to the first $62.40 of a concession card holder’s winter gas bill.
This change has been made because the Commonwealth Government is introducing a carbon price. Given the Commonwealth Government is on average providing full compensation to households for the impact of the carbon price on energy bills, the concession on that component of these bills is unnecessary.
The Commonwealth Government estimates that the new carbon price will increase gas bills by 9 per cent. In dollar terms this equates to an average of $1.50 per week or $78 per annum.
The amount of $62.40 is worked out based on the winter usage of approximately 80 per cent of gas costs.
刚看了福利部门的网站，对于冬天煤气的concession的17.5%不知道是属于service+usage，还是单单usage.
第二段可以理解为从今年7月1日期，concession卡持有者，可以免除首个$62.4的煤气费么？ 英文不好，求高手指导！
