The Child Support Agency has warned separated parents they could create problems for themselves if they fail to lodge their tax returns on time.
National Enforcement Services Manager at the Agency, Bill Volkers said as child support assessments were based on both parents’ incomes, it was important for separated parents who earned over $18,808 during 2008-09 to lodge their tax returns soon after receiving their payment summaries.
Mr Volkers said if tax returns were not lodged on time, parents could pay the wrong amount of child support.
