Family Tax Benefit Part B: Who Qualifies and What You Get

Learn how single-income households in Australia can access extra financial support to help manage the costs of raising children.

Family Tax Benefit Part B is a payment designed to provide extra financial support to single-income households. It helps families manage the costs associated with raising children.

Who it's for

This scheme is intended for single parents or families that rely on one main income earner.

What you get

You receive additional financial support specifically designed to assist single-income households with their living expenses.

What it costs you

There is no upfront fee to apply, but your eligibility and the amount you receive will depend on an income test. This test is based on the income of the lower earner in the household.

The catch to know

The support is not permanent for all family members; the payments will stop automatically once your youngest child reaches 18 years of age.

How to apply

  1. Gather your financial documents to confirm your household income.
  2. Visit the official government portal to start your application.
  3. Follow the prompts to submit your details for assessment.
