How does Family Tax Benefit work for families living in Canberra?

A ClaimWise Team Answered by

Family Tax Benefit (FTB) is a federal payment available to eligible families in Canberra and elsewhere in Australia, subject to rules about your children, family income, care arrangements and residency. It has Part A, generally based on each eligible child, and Part B, which may assist some single parents and couple families with one main income. The amount and payment method are worked out by Services Australia based on your circumstances and income estimate. You can check eligibility and apply through myGov, or visit servicesaustralia.gov.au for current rates and requirements.
