My friend has been screwed over for the year too. She recieved NO cs last financial year, so his tax was paid out to her. Obviously for last financial year her payments were lower coz he was supposed to pay a certain amount.
Anyway, he has been nice this financial year & paid whats owed for 09/10. BUT coz she got his tax from last year & it was paid in THIS fin year, its classed as this years income. So she's lost $150 a f/n.
How is that fair? What about all the money she lost last year when he wasn't paying? Is that just forgotten about?
any money that was deducted from her payment for the financial year that she didnt' receive is paid back at reconcilliation time (so tax time) - there is also the option to ONLY have your payment impacted by what CS you receive if you have an irregular payer...
