Child Care Tax Rebate

[sushee]

Does it get paid automatically by FAO once both partners have lodged their tax return? Or do you have to apply to FAO for it? My tax has been done and I've received my return but DH only just did his yesterday. I assume it will be a month or so after he receives his return that the FAO will send out the CCTR (assuming they do it automatically)?

Anyone know roughly how long it takes after you've lodged your return?

The cut off dates for childcare centres to finalise usage was 31st July as all usage is done weekly now by most services. But due to the end of financial year they were given a month to fix up any errors such as absences, extra days etc. so after this week the childcare services can't change anything from last financial year, (at least that;s my interpretation of it anyway )

it can take up to 14 days from when you lodge your get your notice of assesment to when FAO get your info. CCB and CCR would be issued within two working days IF all info from parents AND child care centres have been received. some child care centres may not have been moved to the new system yet (most have) - in which case they still have up to three months to provide usage statements. very few would take that long cos they don't get paid their CCB until they provide them

well I don't get a rebate (pay full fees), only lodged my tax with the acct yesterday and wake up this morning and CCB is in my account. I know my tax hasn't been lodged with ATO yet, so maybe that's cos I pay full fees?
