On 14 June 2024, my mother was overpaid by Centrelink by just over $10 000 (they admitted that the money was for another person). This extra $10 000 was included in her Income Statement from Centrelink which means she must pay tax in the 2023-2024 year.
How does she get reimbursed for the overpayment of tax? She only received the Aged pension therefore would not normally need to complete a tax return.
Centrelink sent a request for the money to be repaid on 17 July 2024 in the new financial year which will be repaid.
