This document outlines information on the Family Tax Benefit (FTB) Additional Assessment (FTAA) screen.

Family Tax Benefit (FTB) Part A

A customer's FTB Part A may need to be limited to the base rate only. This procedure outlines when this is appropriate and how it is recorded.

Reasons for limiting FTB Part A to the base rate:

  • the customer or partner receive a service pension or income support from the Department of Veterans' Affairs (DVA), that include a payment for children - that is, the Dependent Child Add On (DCAO) payment
  • any other reason (for example a customer has ceased income support payments and has not provided a new income estimate)

The FTAA screen is used to record the forced reason for assessing a customer's entitlement to payment at the base rate of FTB Part A.
