Rudd's stimulus package: what will you get? - National - smh.com.au

'Low- and middle-income families will also receive $950 for each child aged between four and 18 to help with education costs.'

'And students, apprentices and unemployed people who undertake study will be eligible for a $950 training and learning bonus.'

We all does get it.

 

[hollyy.]

between 4 and 18.. hmm is that including 18?

 

[CIV1501]

It doesnt matter if you're over 18 if you're still a student because then you get the training and learning bonus

 

[whatashotbyseve]

Um, no, you will not get it unless you are receiving a Centrelink payment like Austudy or Youth Allowance.

 

[Russdog]

fuck yeah, $950 in April, probably a grand or two taxback in June.

will enjoy this year.

 

[Riet]

Can I file my tax return early to get the payment?

 

[КГБ]

And small businesses buying eligible assets will receive a 30 cent-in-the-dollar investment tax break in a measure totalling $2.7 billion.

can someone expand on this? what are the limits? etc etc

 

[settle*precious]

Can I file my tax return early to get the payment?

"You must have lodged a 2007-2008 tax return to receive the cash, to be paid from April. Those who haven't yet lodged a return can do so until the end of June this year and still be eligible for their bonus."

[tinfoilhat]

what's a "Low- and middle-income" family? <100K a household (before tax)?

 

[Riet]

Yeah something like that.

 

[ballin]

so wait. just to clarify. i am a student, but i have no job and am 19. do i get the 950? My family is middle income.

 

[whatashotbyseve]

Unless you can qualify for Youth Allowance, no. Your parents will, however, assuming their income is less than $80k.

 

[tinfoilhat]

what's the average household income?

 

[Riet]

what's the average household income?

How is that relevant? It was like $48,000 in 2006 - not sure how that's changed.

well i didnt want to start bitching about not getting this money without actually knowing what the average was

makes sense why i'm missing out

 

[Craven]

Why does "Australian worker earning under $80,000" = "Australian household earning under $80,000"?

 

[tinfoilhat]

oh wait was it australian worker... i thought someone said before that it was household :S
