8  Additional amount for residential care service in remote area
 (1) For subparagraph 52C‑2(2)(a)(ii) of the Act, this section specifies an amount that may be added to the maximum daily amount of resident fees, worked out under section 52C‑3 of the Act, for residential care provided through a residential care service that is located in a remote area.
 (2) The additional amount is the amount worked out in accordance with the following formula:
where:
remote area amount means the amount referred to in column 4 (basic allowance per fortnight) of table item 1 (person whose family situation is not a member of a couple) of Table H—Remote area allowance set out in section 1064‑H2 of the Social Security Act.
Note: Paragraph 52C‑2(2)(a) of the Act refers to the resident fee in respect of any day, and the remote area amount is a fortnightly amount. The amount worked out using the above formula is an amount equal to 85% of the daily equivalent of the fortnightly amount of remote area allowance at the rate in force immediately before the commencement of the A New Tax System (Compensation Measures Legislation Amendment) Act 1999.
