A New Tax System (Family Assistance) (Administration) Act 1999

Subject to this section, a determination under this Division comes into force when it is made and remains in force at all times afterwards.

A determination under paragraph 19(a) may be expressed to come into force on a day before it is made (but not earlier than the day the claim concerned is made).

If, on a particular day, a determination is in force:

under section 16, where under the determination the claimant is not entitled to be paid family tax benefit on the particular day or any later day; or

under paragraph 19(a);

another determination is made on the particular day on a claim by the claimant for payment of family tax benefit by instalment; or

another determination is made after the particular day on a claim by the claimant for payment of family tax benefit for a past period, where the particular day occurs within the past period.

A determination in force under section 16 on a particular day ceases to be in force if:

under the determination, the claimant is entitled to be paid family tax benefit on the particular day or any later day; and

on the particular day, the claimant is not receiving a social security pension, social security benefit, service pension, income support supplement or veteran payment; and

on the particular day, the claimant advises the Secretary, in the form and manner required by the Secretary, that the claimant wishes the determination:

to cease to be in force from the particular day or from a specified later day; or

to have ceased to be in force at the end of the most recent instalment period before the particular day.
