Paid Parental Leave vs Baby Bonus - which one for me?

[CKJ]

isn't baby bonus a tax free lump sum (a bit over $5K) ... ? so you get the lot no matter how much or how little you work?

also, I thought you don't Fam Tax B if you claim baby bonus ... but that might be wrong ...

From what I read online the baby bonus is now paid fortnightly and doesn't affect FTB B, but I'm so confused with it all!

[peanutter]

yes, paid fortnightly but everyone gets 13 fortnightly instalments.

there's an online calculator that shows you a direct comparison of PPL -v- BB
