Has anyone got their childcare rebate back yet from the April, May, June quarter?

[AliBaby]

I dont remember it taking this long before and I need to pay this months childcare fees!

child care rebate is not started until basically now (the child care centres have three weeks after the start of the first week starting in a new quarter to submit usage details). no reconcilliation will have started yet. off hand i think it's actually the 26th that the first payments will be processed. it will then only be processed if yours/partners tax details have been finalised

Thanks BG.
Can I ask what you mean about tax details being finalised? I havent done our tax yet for the last financial year.

From what I have read and what BG just said... The Child care rebate will be comming with the Adjustments of FTa+B... So once you do your Tax for 09/10 they will send off to centerlink and it will all be one lump sum... Is that right BG?

So I don't do anything to claim the rebate or FTB? It's just done automatically once my H's tax is done (and my "no need to do tax" form)?

[briggsy's girl]

you have to have done your tax to get your final quarter payment (unless you are ONLY claiming CCR - if you're claiming CCB, you need to do your tax - nothing will happen until that's done)

meow - you need to notify BOTH ATO and FAO if you're not lodging a tax return

I've just checked my centrelink thingy and it has on there i'll be paid the reconciliated FTA/B but it hasn't got about CCB? Does this mean it could be coming seperately?

Thank you! Very helpful

As far as I am aware it only comes to you once you have both completed your tax returns (for this payment only).
