Budget 08: Dependant Offset Restricted Eligibility

by on May 18, 2008

  • Buffer

From 1 July 2008, an income threshold of $150,000 will apply when determining a taypayer’s eligibility for claiming certain tax offsets. These include Dependent Spouse, Housekeeper, Child Housekeeper, Invalid Relative and Parent/Parent-in-law tax offsets.

Currently these offsets are not income tested. By July 2009, the Government has said they will also align the definition of ‘income’ for these tax offsets so that they match family assistance payments.
