Estimates of income
Customers can make an election for the child support assessment to be based on their estimated Adjusted Taxable Income (ATI) for the relevant financial year. The election is made for:
- the full financial year if lodged on or before 1 July, or
- the remainder of the financial year if lodged after 1 July. If lodged after 1 July, the estimate is made up of the:
- Year to Date (YTD) ATI, and
- estimated ATI for the remaining period of the financial year
Customer can lodge and update estimates online, verbally or in writing.
There are rules that determine if an estimate of income will be accepted. See the Child Support Guide 3.4.1 Making an income estimate election.
The Resources page contains links to macros, forms, lump sum calculator, estimate deeming policies, contact details, the Services Australia website, and the Customer Rights and Obligations script.
