$900 Stimulus (sp) money

[BrightSparkles]

has anyone else already got this money??
I got mine about 2/3 weeks ago. Now, the decision is in the High Court as to whether all the cheques will be approved.

So my question is...
If we have already got this money, will they make us pay it back by taking it out of our tax at the end of the finanical year??

What do you mean the decision is in the high court? Wasn't it passed through parliment months ago?

aus girl some silly person is taking the government to court to stop it being paid

jenn i doubt they will ask for it back

[Floweryfields]

Well, I can't see how they could legally give it to some and not others.

The money that is coming in cheque form (or into your bank account) early April is from the ATO, that is paid to workers earning under a certain amount of money (I think $80 000) for the last financial year...it is totally different to the money that you have already received a few weeks ago (which was from centerlink) for single income families and for each school age child. You will not have to pay that back.

I got $900 into my bank account 2 weeks ago. I thought that was the one that you get if you earn under that $80 000. This is the one based on tax from last year yes???

Or is this one something different again? I got the $1000 in october last year and now this $900 which like i said, I thought was this new stimulus payment.

Or does this mean I get 2 lots of $900- one being for the single income family thing and one being that I earnt less than $80K last financial year?
