84B  Component of formula—approved child care fees

General rule—approved child care fees for a base week for an individual and a child

 (1) The amount of an individual's approved child care fees for a child in a base week for the individual and the child is the amount of fees for which:
 (a) the individual; or
 (b) the individual's partner during the week;
is liable for care provided by an approved child care service or services for the child during the week. Subject to subsection (2), it does not matter whether the individual is entitled to child care benefit for all of that care.

Special rule if the week is also a base week for the individual's partner for the child

 (2) If the base week is also a base week for the individual's partner and the child, the individual's approved child care fees for the week do not include any fees that the individual's partner was liable to pay for care by an approved child care service or services for the child in the week for which the individual is not entitled to child care benefit.

If fee reduction applies, count unreduced amount of fees

 (3) If fees for child care by an approved child care service have been reduced under Division 1 of Part 8A of the Family Assistance Administration Act, then for the purposes of this section, a reference to the fees for which the individual, or the individual's partner, is liable is taken to be a reference to the fees for which the individual, or the individual's partner, would have been liable for the care if they had not been so reduced.
