FAMILY ASSISTANCE PAYMENTS

The ATO has reminded individuals receiving Child Care Subsidy and Family Tax Benefit payments from Services Australia that they and their partners must lodge their 2019/20 Individual Tax Returns by 30 June 2021. Lodgement deferral with the ATO does not alter this requirement. If tax returns are not lodged by 30/06/2021: - Clients receiving Child Care Subsidy may lose their ongoing entitlement and/or receive a debt from Services Australia and have to repay the amount received in the 2019/20 financial year; and - Clients receiving Family Tax Benefit may miss out on additional payments, may also receive a debt from Services Australia and/or may have their fortnightly payments stopped.
