IMPORTANT INFORMATION
• Your Family Tax Benefit includes a Part A and Part B Supplement amount of $205.92. This is
included in your entitlement after the end of the financial year, when your payments are
checked. We can use the Supplement to reduce money you owe us. This may occur even if
you have an existing repayment arrangement in place.
• You may still have outstanding family assistance overpayments. You can check your
balances and current repayment arrangements online by going to your myGov account and
selecting ‘Check the money you owe’ from the menu.

Payment options for the amount you owe


• Paying in full by the due date: You can pay the amount payable in full, using the payment
slip at the bottom of page one of this letter. You can make a payment by phone, internet, mail,
or in person at any post office outlet.
• If you cannot pay the amount payable in full by the due date: We will make fortnightly
deductions from your Family Tax Benefit. Deductions will start automatically from the first
payment of Family Tax Benefit made to you after the due date.
• We may contact you to talk about whether you can repay the amount owing more quickly. If
you need to change the amount being deducted from your payments (for example you want to
increase the amount you are paying or the automatic rate of deductions is too high for you),
please call us on 1800 076 072.
• If we are recovering money you owe to the Commonwealth, you will not be eligible for an
advance of Family Tax Benefit. You can apply for an advance once your Centrelink debt is
paid in full.

Balancing your payment
Your Family Tax Benefit is checked at the end of the financial year to make sure we paid you the
correct amount. This will happen after we have confirmed your income information with the Australian
Taxation Office or you have told us you are not required to lodge a tax return.
• If you overestimate your income you may have been underpaid during the year. You may receive a top
up payment after the end of the financial year.
• If you underestimate your income, you may have been overpaid during the year, and you will need to
pay this amount back to us.
• If you underestimate your income for two consecutive financial years and you are found to have had no
entitlement to Family Tax Benefit for those years, you will not be able to receive any future Family Tax
Benefit payments as fortnightly instalments.
Overpayments can be recovered from future family assistance payments, supplement payments or tax
refunds.
Reducing the risk of an overpayment - Payment options
Fortnightly Payments
To reduce the risk of an overpayment your Family Tax Benefit may be automatically adjusted when
your income changes. Fortnightly payments are worked out on your estimate of your annual family
income. It is therefore important that you keep this estimate as accurate as possible during the financial
year.
Another way to reduce the risk of an overpayment is to receive some of your entitlements during the
year and the rest after the end of the financial year. We will balance your payments against your actual
annual family income and the remaining entitlements will be paid to you.

Regardless of what method you choose, if we collect child support on your behalf, the amount of Family
Tax Benefit you receive will be balanced at the end of the financial year using the amount of child
support you actually received and other income for that financial year. If you collected your child
support privately, your Family Tax Benefit will be balanced based on the amount of child support you
were entitled to receive and any other income for that financial year.
Make sure your estimate is right
It is extremely important to make sure your estimate of your annual income is as accurate as possible.
Remember to include income for yourself and your partner for the whole financial year. Include income
you have already earned and income you expect to earn for the rest of the financial year.
Important note: If your salary or wage is paid weekly or fortnightly, the number of individual paydays in
a financial year can vary. You need to know this when you estimate your income to avoid being
overpaid and should check with your employer if you are unsure.
If you are unsure if a change will affect your payments, please go to servicesaustralia.gov.au and
search for ‘family income estimate’ or call us for advice on 136 150.
