i know this might sound completely mad but my friend mentioned that on top of the $1000 k-rudd money you also get a one off payment of $660. is this true???
it's the ftba that is held back til the end of the financial year - if you have over estimated your ftba, you get a top up amount including the supplement of 667 (and a few odd cents!)
Tis true, you need to submit your 'non-lodgement' form to the ATO, AND call the FTO to get it though...there was a thread on that a while back I think where Beeg was particularly helpful.
D - you should notify the ATO that you won't be lodging a tax return - if you don't, they'll start sending you letters to your last known address asking about previous years - it's a simple form (and you might be able to do it online but not sure)
if you haven't already done it, you should notify FAO as well - if you've received your supplement payments once DH did his tax, it means FAO already know your details, but if you didnt, give them a call (or go online if you're registered) and advise that you're not lodging a tax return (please don't ask me how to do it online - i have NO idea if i don't have the info at hand to guide me!)
You can't do the ATO thing online, I asked and they said no cos you have to sign something. But you can download the form online.
And with the FTO, you call them. That's the best way I reckon, because she told me (after a looong wait) how much we would get straight away, and when we'd get it.
