If you register for parental tax credit within three months after the child is born, payments are made fortnightly.
Otherwise we make a lump sum payment after the end of the tax year (ie after 31 March), when we work out how much parental tax credit you are entitled to receive based on your income for the tax year. This usually means you receive the payment around July.作者: 皮皮蛋蛋 时间: 2011-6-16 20:30:40
What is parental tax credit?
You may qualify for parental tax credit if, during the eight weeks after the child's birth, you and/or your partner did not receive any of the following:
•an income-tested benefit from the Department of Work and Income
•New Zealand Superannuation or veteran's pension
•a student allowance
•weekly accident compensation (for more than three months).
If you did not receive any of these forms of income, the amount of parental tax credit you receive depends on your total family income for the year.
