Hi I run a small buisnees gardening as a sole trader plus receive Centrelink payments I'm wanting to know do I include both payments & add them together when it comes to the threshold or just include my business? I did ring centrelink to help explain but they left me more confused. Any help is much appreciated thanks.

Hi Clint

Assuming we are talking about tax threshold; payments such as Family Tax Benefits, Child Care Rebate, Child Care Benefit, Rent Assistance and a whole lot more received from Centrelink are not to be included as income for tax purposes and can therefore be excluded from working out the threshold and tax brackets.
