You’ll get a Centrelink payment summary if you get any of the taxable Centrelink payments including Farm Household Allowance.
You can ask us to deduct tax from your eligible taxable payment. This can help reduce the amount of tax you may have to pay at the end of the tax year.
Some taxable payments won’t show on your Centrelink payment summary. You may still need to include these payments in your tax return. Read about payments that don’t show on it.
