How do I claim Family Tax Benefit in Canberra and what affects how much I could receive?

A ClaimWise Team Answered by

Family Tax Benefit (FTB) is available to eligible families in Canberra under the same national rules that apply across Australia. Services Australia generally considers your family income estimate, the number and age of your children, your level of care, residency and whether you meet the relevant child support requirements. You can claim FTB Part A and, in some circumstances, Part B through myGov linked to Centrelink, or when you lodge your tax return. Rates and eligibility can change, so check your circumstances and current guidance at servicesaustralia.gov.au before applying.
