Some hints for July 2013

At the moment the volume of people logging on to notify they don't need to do a tax return is huuuuuuge! By 9am on Monday there were already several thousand people who had updated online. And it just keeps getting more. If you have business to do like estimate, check payment etc, the app is handling the traffic very well but you can't do the non lodgement advice on the app

Living. You can lodge the lump sum claim any time now. As long as it is lodged by June 30 next year. You don't have to have done your taxes first. However you do need to lodge your taxes by June 30 or you won't get the payment s (you used to have two years to do it all, you now only have one!)

Is this a new thing? I tried to claim the lump sum and got knocked back on the basis our tax return hadn't been finalised.

Does that mean that I can now claim our FTB lump sum for 2012/13 FYI even though our tax is with the accountant?

[briggsy's girl]

Yeah you can.

It got rejected. Letter said that until they can confirm mine or DH's income details then they can't complete the assessment (I have my notice of assessment, waiting on DH's).

You'll probably find the rejection is a system letter. As soon as yours and hubby's income hits the record it will process the payment. You won't have to claim again

Does anyone know where I can check last financial years cut off for FTB B? We don't claim anything through the year (except the non means tested CCR) as DH's income changes so much. When we lodged our tax returns, I was suprised to receive some CCB, so I did an online calculation using the figures lodged for our tax return, and we are entitled to some FTB B.. However that is for this financial year..

I wanted to check the limits for last financial year to see if I am going to receive some for that period, and possibly there is just a wait for that payment. Or maybe the figures were different last financial year and we weren't eligible. I was hoping to be able to find the answer online, rather than wait on the phone and take that call from someone else.

There isn't a lot of difference from last year to this. If online services this year says you'd get a payment you would have last year (thresholds are slightly up - by maybe a couple of hundred dollars the year)
