What’s on it

Your Centrelink payment summary shows most of your taxable and non-taxable payments the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) need to know about.

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:

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.
