The International Organisations (Privileges and Immunities) Amendment Bill 2013 was introduced in the Senate by the Government Wed 13.3.2013. It proposes to amend the International Organisations (Privileges and Immunities) Act 1963 (P&I Act) to provide a legislative basis for the enactment of Regulations conferring privileges and immunities on the International Committee for the Red Cross (ICRC) and the International Criminal Court. The income of such organisation is made exempt from tax pursuant to regulations made under the P&I Act, and income tax exemptions are also conferred for the official salary and emoluments of certain officials of prescribed organisations.
