Some Centrelink and Government payments need to be included in your taxable income and others are tax exempt. To make allocating easy we've created income categories that align with the reporting requirements.

Family benefits, including Part A and Part B Family allowances and childcare rebates, are tax exempt. When allocating these payments from Bank Feeds select the 'Personal' icon and then category 'Centrelink - Family Benefits Payments'.

Child Support is also an excluded income. When allocating these payments from Bank Feeds select the 'Personal' icon and then category 'Child Support'.

Most pensions and allowances are taxable and must be included in your taxable income, if tax is withheld by Centrelink these amounts should also be included.

When allocating Government payments from Bank Feeds select the 'Work Tank' icon and then select the appropriate "Pension", "Newstart", "Youth Allowance" or "Austudy" category. All other payments should be allocated to the 'Government Allowances' category.
