Your payment summary shows:
- most of your Centrelink payments and allowances
- payment dates
- taxable and tax exempt amounts
- tax withheld amounts that show as deductions.
Find out:
- what taxable and non-taxable payments show on your payment summary
- what taxable payments don’t show on your payment summary that you need to report in your tax return.
Family Tax Benefit (FTB) and Child Care Subsidy (CCS) are non-taxable payments. If you only got FTB and CCS from us, you won’t get a Centrelink payment summary.
Once your details pre-fill in your ATO tax return, you won’t need a Centrelink payment summary. It’s best to lodge your tax return once all your information pre-fills. This helps avoid errors and having to resubmit your tax return.
