    DF owes the tax man this yr

    No biggie, was expected.
    Because he's a sub contractor we pay tax every quarter based on the previous yrs income. last yr we got a decent tax break which obviously put his income as lower, hence not paying enough tax this yr and owing.
    My question is, will this money come off my centerlink supplement?

    If his total taxable income is higher than your estimated income, then yes, you will incur a debt and it will come out of your supplement payments. Forgot to add that even though he is paying tax this year, if his income is still less than the estimate then you will still get the supplements

    It is confusing, but you should be right and not get a debt.

    you shouldn't get a debt, and your supplments/top up (if any) should go to you as long as ftb is in your name
