Method statement

Step 1. If the individual or the individual's partner was receiving family allowance, but not family tax payment, immediately before 1 July 2000, the fortnightly rate of that family allowance is the individual's fortnightly rate .

Step 2. If the individual or the individual's partner was receiving family tax payment, but not family allowance, immediately before 1 July 2000, the individual's or partner's fortnightly Part A rate of family tax payment immediately before 1 July 2000 is the individual's fortnightly rate .

Step 3. If the individual or the individual's partner was receiving family allowance and family tax payment immediately before 1 July 2000, add the following amounts:

(a) the individual's or partner's fortnightly rate of family allowance immediately before 1 July 2000;

(b) the individual's or partner's fortnightly Part A rate of family tax payment immediately before 1 July 2000.

The result is the individual's fortnightly rate .

Step 4. From the individual's fortnightly rate subtract any amount of guardian allowance included in the individual's or the individual's partner's family allowance by virtue of Module F of the Family Allowance Rate Calculator in section 1069 of the Social Security Act 1991, as in force immediately before 1 July 2000: the result is the individual's net fortnightly rate .

Step 5. Divide the individual's net fortnightly rate by 14. If the result is not a whole number of cents or dollars or a whole number of dollars and a whole number of cents, round the result upwards to the nearest cent and multiply the rounded amount by 365: the result of the multiplication is the individual's annual rate .

Step 6. If neither the individual nor the individual's partner was receiving family allowance or family tax payment immediately before 1 July 2000, the individual's annual rate is nil.

Step 7. If either or both of subparagraphs (2)(a)(i) and (ii) are satisfied but subparagraph (2)(a)(iii) is not satisfied, the individual's annual rate is his or her 30 June 2000 rate .

Step 8. Ifsubparagraph (2)(a)(iii) is satisfied but subparagraph (2)(a)(ii) is not satisfied, add the following amounts:

(a) the individual's annual rate;

(b) the individual's 1999-2000 family tax assistance component.

The result is the individual's 30 June 2000 rate .

(7) An individual's special Part A rate is the individual's Part A rate of family tax benefit worked out:

(a) in accordance with Part 2 or 3 of this Schedule; and

(b) as if neither the individual nor the individual's partner was receiving a pension referred to in paragraph (2)(b).

(8) An individual's 1999-2000 family tax assistance component is the amount worked out according to the formula:

$200 x Number of dependants

where:

number of dependants is the total number of dependants the family tax assistance person had on 30 June 2000.
