We start balancing FTB payments from early July and CCS payments from mid August.
Before we can balance your FTB and CCS, you need to confirm your income. You can do this by lodging a tax return with the Australian Taxation Office. It’s a good idea to wait until late-July for your information to pre-fill in myTax.
If you don’t need to lodge a tax return, you need to tell us and confirm your family income for the 2025-26 financial year. You can do this online.
If you had a partner during the financial year, we need their income details too.
Use our tax time checker to see what your family needs to do.
