Is the change to the education tax rebate into a cash payment per school child to replace the amount I would claim on the 2011-2012 tax return, or will it be after July 1 for the 2012-2013 tax return?

It replaces anything you would claim on your 2011-2012 tax return.

Why can't all families get it We only just miss out but would also benefit from it too

Unfortunately the cut off has to be somewhere - if all families were to get the payments the cost to the taxpayer would likely quadruple and that is just not sustainable.

I know but it's just so frustrating that we are struggling exactly the same as everyone else but can never get any of these
