Adjusted taxable income is used to calculate your entitlement to Family Assistance for the current financial year. It is determined based on an estimate of family income for you (and/or your partner) and consists of:
taxable income
reportable fringe benefits
reportable superannuation contributions
total net investment loss
tax free pensions or benefits
foreign income
tax exempt foreign income
less child support you have paid.
The amount of Family Tax Benefit and/or Child Care Benefit you received throughout the year will be checked against the amount you should have received, based on your actual adjusted taxable income. This is determined after you (and/or your partner) have lodged a tax return.
