31E(2)
The Secretary must apply the following method statement to work out if there is a daily overpayment rate: Method statement
Step 1.
Work out the total amount of family tax benefit the claimant is or was entitled to be paid during the period beginning at the start of the income year and ending at the end of the day before the applicable day.
Step 2.
Work out the total amount of family tax benefit the claimant would have been entitled to be paid during that period if the claimant ' s rate of family tax benefit were calculated using:
Step 3.
Take the amount worked out at step 2 away from the amount worked out at step 1.
Step 4.
If the amount worked out at step 3 is greater than zero, work out the number of days during the period beginning on the applicable day and ending at the end of the last day in the income year.
Step 5.
Work out the daily overpayment rate by dividing the amount worked out at step 3 by the number of days worked out at step 4, and rounding the result of the division to the nearest cent (rounding 0.5 cents upwards).
31E(3)
If there is a daily overpayment rate, the Secretary must vary the applicable determination so that the claimant ' s daily rate of family tax benefit for the period beginning on the applicable day and ending at the end of the last day in the income year is reduced (but not below nil) by that daily overpayment rate.
