As far as I know, they take his income from the ATO from last financial year, when he put his tax return in, work out what his payments would be from that & thats what he is to pay this financial year unless he disputes it & gets it dropped. I got them to drop it for DH when we were seperated, but that was my decision. Not sure if they can do it themselves.
If he doesn't pay you enough, as far as I know, when he puts his tax in & they see the amount he actually earnt they can take his tax pay out & give it to you. I think you need CSA to be collecting for that though, not a private arrangement.
Thanks for the replies. Spent 45 mins on the phone to CSA, and I am applying for a change of assessment. The person I spoke to said given his history (he has done this for the last 4 years), they will most likely give hm a 'set income'.
I also have to lodge an objection to his estimate on Aug 25, along with a request for an extension of objection given it is more than 28 days.
I also have to ASK them to reconcile the accounts.
