Cc benefit question

[Mum2Romone]

DS is starting preschool tomorrow and on the form it says details of the cc benefit.

Hubby anD I both have pension cards

Should I put hubbies centerlink reference number or mine.

Does it matter in terms of getting anything back at tax time?

Hubby is back at work but was previously on dis support as he is sick.

What did you do?

[briggsy's girl]

have you applied for childcare benefit via fao/c'link yet? you will need to put the CRN ofwhichever name CCB is applied to - so if you apply in your name, then it's your crn. if it's in his name, then it's his CRN. make sure you put the right one though - it gets messy if you don't!

Hmmm I told them my details at centerline because I called them

But what's the deal at tax time, is there supposed to be a rebate of some sort?

[briggsy's girl]

if both of you are working/studying/training you will qualify for the child care rebate - half your out of pocket costs are rebated each quarter. the final quarter of the fin year (april to june) isn't paid until you've finalised your tax affairs for the year.

if you gave your details when setting up CCB with c'link, you need to give your details to child care
