you need to report your gross income - so what you earn before anything is deducted.

so if you ear $20 an hour, but they take x amount of that for fbt, y amount for tax, you still report the $20 per hour for parenting payment purposes

for family tax benefit, you need to report the total gross VALUE of the FBT annually - the system then calculates the amount that is included as income (something like 51.5 or 53.5%)
