MG - if ccb was only added in Jan and it wasn't backdated to DD's start date, you will need to do a lump sum claim from start of July. when lump sum claim is lodged, it will show that you've already been paid from Jan so will only pay what you haven't already received (iykwim?)
Sammie - we ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS sugges that people over estimate by at least a couple of thousand dollars, more if self employed or in a variable type job (my hubby for instance, have income that varies by up to $1000 a week, so if someone were discussing that situation, i'd suggest assuming the highest income is what they'd get, and over estimate on that). estimating income is one of the most painful things to do unless you're on a set income - and even then, we suggest you add between 5 and 10% to your income estimate to account for bonuses/overtime/pay rises. it never looks bad to over estimate! serial UNDERESTIMATORS can, and do, have their payment stopped until such time as they provide a reasonable income estimate
sorry to jump on here, but seeing if anyone can help..
We received a payment in our bank a/c today and I have no idea why. We haven't lodged our tax yet, and did not estimate wages as we were going to claim all our payments at tax time (my DH's wage is so up and down) and the only claim we have made is the non means tested CC rebate cause the CC centre said we had to..
you'll probably find it's the child care rebate for out of pocket costs
the computer will have calculated your out of pockets if you were claiming the minimum child care benefit during the year
IF you get tax done and find that you are eligible for more child care benefit than what you were paid (and therefore less of the child care rebate) it will all be worked out for you. and child care benefit top up will be more than any rebate you owe, so it will balance out
