Tax Benefit Part A’ below.
Part rate of Family Tax Benefit Part A
Generally, if your income is above $45 114 a year, your payment
will reduce by 20 cents for each dollar above $45 114 until your
payment reaches the base rate of Family Tax Benefit Part A (see
Tables 2 and 3 below).

The amount of Family Tax Benefit Part A will then reduce by 30

year for each Family Tax Benefit child after the first) until your actual
annual family income reaches the income limit (see Table 4 below).

more accurate assessment.
If your estimate of annual family income is higher than the income
limit for fortnightly payments but lower than the income limit for
payment including the supplement, you may be entitled to some
Family Tax Benefit Part A after the end of the financial year. You
should lodge a lump sum claim when your actual annual family
income is known.
Note: lump sum claims must be made within two years of the
end of the financial year for which you are claiming. For example,
lump sum claims for the 2010–11 financial year must be lodged
by 30 June 2013.
Family Tax Benefit Part A payments are based on your
family’s income over the entire financial year
How much payment you are entitled to depends on your actual
annual family income.
To get the most assistance to families that need it most, there is a
maximum rate of benefit for those on a low income and a base rate
for families on a moderate income.
There is also an upper income limit above which you are not entitled
to receive any Family Tax Benefit Part A because your family’s
income is too high.
Families who do not provide their own estimate of income will have
their most recent estimate or actual annual family income indexed
in line with increases in average weekly earnings.
Families may provide a new reasonable estimate of their income if
they disagree with the one provided by the Family Assistance Office
or if their income changes.
Note: if you and/or your partner are not required to lodge a tax
return you should tell the Family Assistance Office.
Maintenance income test for Family Tax
Benefit Part A
To receive more than the base rate of Family Tax Benefit Part A for
children of a previous relationship, you must take reasonable action
to obtain child support. Parents who have children from a previous
same-sex relationship can apply for child support. You should
contact the Family Assistance Office for advice on your individual
situation if you are unsure about meeting this requirement. Blind
pensioners are exempt from this requirement.
If you receive more than the base rate of Family Tax Benefit Part A,
child support received above the maintenance income free area
will reduce Family Tax Benefit Part A by 50 cents in the dollar, until
the base rate of Family Tax Benefit Part A is reached. Child support
received for a child only affects Family Tax Benefit paid for that child. |
