So, I have done both mine and my husbands tax via etax and just checked the centrelink site and it is showing my income for 2010/11 but not my husbands as yet. Does that mean that I should get my refund in the next couple of days?
mummyo4. You'll get it when c/ling/fao confirm back to the tax office that they are ok to pay your refund. It varies so much. Could be only a couple of days. Could be weeks. This is the government we're talking about
Ring the ATO if you're worried, you'll have to wait on hold, but if you are really urgent on the money ask them what is happenning and if it just cued tell them you would like to request an 'escalation'. If nothing else, they should be able to tell you when you are due to have your money put into your account or sent as a cheque or what is holding it up. Have your TFN on you.
if you lodge a tax return and you are due an FTB payment (or are simply FTB current on the system) your result (either credit or debit) will be sent to the opposite department to see if they need to take any of the money. there is no point giving you a tax refund if you have been over paid family tax benefit, and vice verse
if the information is being transferred between the two, the process is still deemed to be NORMAL until it has been stuck there for 28 days
Did our tax just a bit under 2weeks ago and got our supplements in my account today! Was a very nice top up. No CCB or quarterly CCR but I pressume that might come later. Havent received tax returns yet but probably by the end of the week.
