SECTION 61-480 Meaning of
entitled to child care benefit
and
entitlement to child care benefit
61-480(1)
You are
entitled to child care benefit
for *approved child care for a child as provided in this section, and not otherwise. The amount of your
entitlement to child care benefit
for the care is as provided in this section, and not otherwise.
Note:
Child care benefit is a benefit provided for by the
A New Tax System (Family Assistance) Act 1999
.
General rule
-
actual determination of entitlement must have been made
61-480(2)
You are only entitled to child care benefit for the care if you are so entitled because of a determination made under section 51B or 52E of the
A New Tax System (Family Assistance) (Administration) Act 1999
. The amount of your entitlement to child care benefit for the care is the amount worked out under that Act by reference to that determination.
Entitlement based on fee reductions under a determination of conditional entitlement
61-480(3)
However, if:
(a)
a determination (the
conditional determination
) has been made under section 50F of the
A New Tax System (Family Assistance) (Administration) Act 1999
that you are conditionally eligible for child care benefit by fee reduction for the care; and
(b)
under section 219A of that Act as it applies in relation to the determination, fees for the care have been reduced;
you are, subject to subsections (4) and (5), taken to be entitled to child care benefit for the care. The amount of your entitlement to child care benefit for the care is the amount of the reduction.
61-480(4)
Despite subsection (3), if:
(a)
a determination (the
final determination
) is subsequently made under section 51B of the
A New Tax System (Family Assistance) (Administration) Act 1999
of your entitlement to be paid child care benefit by fee reduction for the care; and
(b)
the amount (the
final determination amount
) of your entitlement to child care benefit for the care, as worked out by reference to the final determination, differs from the amount of the reduction referred to in paragraph (3)(b);
the amount of your entitlement to child care benefit for the care is taken to be, and always to have been, the final determination amount.
61-480(5)
Despite subsection (3), if a determination is subsequently made under section 51C of the
A New Tax System (Family Assistance) (Administration) Act 1999
that you are not entitled to be paid child care benefit by fee reduction for the care, you are taken not to be, and never to have been, entitled to be paid any child care benefit for the care.
Entitlement does not end with receipt
61-480(6)
In applying this Act at a particular time in relation to yourself and the care, the fact that you have, by that time, received some or all of your entitlement to child care benefit for the care does not mean that you are no longer to be regarded as being entitled to child care benefit for the care.
Later determinations, variations and substitutions to be taken into account
61-480(7)
If, after applying this Act at a particular time in relation to yourself and the care, a determination mentioned in this section is made or varied, or is set aside and a new determination substituted, the question of your entitlement to child care benefit for the care is to be redetermined taking account of the making, variation or substitution.
