Ist quarter Child Care Tax Rebate

[Madissun]

Thanks Snacks... That must be what i do!

I just looked at my last statement from the child care centre and it says on there "your potential Child Care Tax Rebate for this statement period is $xxxx" ? I might be wrong but to me that sounds like i would get some sort of rebate as well?

MR- Oooopppsss sorry yeah i just noticed it sayd 2007-2008....

So its quaterly now at 50%... how do i know if i'll get it??? i already get reduced fees????

I asked when I got a payment last month? I phoned and asked "please explain!" and they said it was the 30% rebate, also that the 50% rebate would be coming at the end of October. I said "I already get money taken out of fees for me, so I don't want to be paid twice" and he said "This is a separate payment, don't worry you are not being overpaid" I did nothing to receive it. But I phoned to make sure it was the right amount (as it seemed too high).

tobyturtle - the reduced fees you get is CCB, and any other fee reduction you are entitled to.
the 50% rebate is on top of this and is a quarterly payment of half of your out of pocket expenses. This is only paid quarterly (or annually if you specifically requested it) and not as a fee reduction. You dont have to register for it seperately, everyone who qualifies for CCB (even if you get 0%) gets it automatically.

Thanks for clearing it up rayray...Wow! Thats awesome! What would some of us do without the government??

[MantaRay]

Awesome for some. Not so great for others. The fees are a lot to pay upfront for those of us that get 0% CCB and have to wait 3 months for the CCTR.

[Madissun]

Sorry, i dont mean to offend anyone in a different situation. Just wanted to say how grateful i am for the help that i do receive

[Mother Goose]

Has anyone received their payments today? It hasn't arrived in my account yet...

[MantaRay]

I haven't got mine yet either.

[jmmum]

Still waiting waiting waiting!!!!!!!

I am really confused. I have a child in registered care. Does the CCB apply to us?

[briggsy's girl]

deb, ccb and the rebate only apply to "approved care" not "registered"

I ended up ringing today and was told it can take up to 3 weeks... I hope he didn't mean 3 months...
