I was told by a lady at the ATO that my family tax suppliment was included in my tax refund which means for 2200 tax I paid I would have only received 160 backing tax does this sound right or does Centrelink send me my family tax suppliment when the notice of assessment hits their end sounds dodgy to me and it's always been seperate and I've always received my full amount of tax back each year as well as my family tax suppliment via Centrelink not included in my tax

Hey @Kazzah80

 

You are correct. Once your notice of assessment is sent out, we also send you income information to Centrelink who use it to calculate your Family tax benefit. Your income tax refund is purely the amount of tax that was paid to us during the year that didn’t go to the tax you had to pay.
