If I was working part-time and earning a really low amount each fortnight, and Shel was eligible for maximum PPP, which ends up being about $11,000 a year, does that come into play as a secondary income for the FTB-B assessment?

It is a taxable income, but I just can't work out if it is an assessable, 'earned' income? I keep going round in circles?

It doesn't say in the "Assessable Income" page...
Examples of assessable income include:

* deemed income from financial investments
* gross income from earnings, including fringe benefits
* employment income salary sacrificed into superannuation
* net income from businesses, including farms
* family trust distributions or dividends from private company shares
* net income from rental property
* total net losses from rental property
* income from boarders and lodgers
* deemed income on money in superannuation funds if you have reached age pension age
* reportable superannuation contributions (salary sacrificed contributions)
* non-Australian pensions and income
* any income from sources outside Australia
* income from income stream products, such as annuities, allocated products and superannuation pensions.
