    the baby bonus income test is combined income...so $75,000 in the first 6 months post birth between you and your DH. Have you checked whether you might be eligible for Paid Parental Leave?

    Thanks Eutra,

    Unfortunately we won't qualify for either. I'm assuming paid parental leave is also calculated on both incomes for the 12 months?

    They should double the threshold for twins I reckon because it's 2 babies!!
