Applying to have income assessed as an earlier year

[AnyDream]

Thanks, BG. See that's the thing. I'm not 100% sure that the way that the ATO treats it flags it as income against an earlier year, or whether they've just adjusted my tax refund without sending that info on to Centrelink. Not having a high level of faith right now in whether the pertinent info actually changes hands (since the ATO managed to fluff it the first time we submitted the application).

Get them to reissue you a notice of assessment for the relevant years. Once you get them, if it hasn't been reassessed by fao within a few weeks, you can contact and get fao to establish the link manually with the reference numbers on those notices

Fwiw, before e, I had to fight for a redundancy for about two years. When it was finally paid, ATO basically said it was tax free. I can't remember the reason, something to do with it being compensatory or something, so something like that may happen. Hence me saying to get the notices to see exactl what they've done...
