You’ll get a Centrelink payment summary if you get any of these taxable Centrelink payments:
- ABSTUDY Living Allowance, if you’re 16 or older
- Age Pension
- Austudy

You can ask us to deduct tax from your taxable payment. This can help reduce the amount of tax you may have to pay at the end of the tax year.
Some taxable payments won’t show on your Centrelink payment summary. You’ll still need to include these payments in your tax return. Read about payments that don’t show on it.
