Hello, just looking for some clarification if someone can help me.

My XP put in as estimate in aug of $14000. He did the same in 2008, and then earnt $88000. CSA tells me that they DO NOT backdate for the financial year, they just go off the estimate until a new income amount comes in.

But on their front page it says: " At the end of your child support period and your estimate period, CSA is required to verify the accuracy of your estimate. We may conduct our own investigations, including asking you to provide proof of your income.

If CSA determines that you have under-estimated your income, we must recalculate your child support assessment based on your actual income. This will create arrears that you will be required to pay. A penalty will also be applied to any additional child support payable if your actual income is at least 10 per cent higher than your estimate. "

So do they/can they back date this?

TIA
