Notice estimating income component
 1067G‑F14 A notice setting out an estimate of an income component or an amount described in subpoint 1067G‑F11(3), for a tax year, of a parent of a person claiming or receiving youth allowance may be given to the Secretary by:
 (a) the parent; or
 (b) the person claiming or receiving youth allowance.
However, if the parent gives a notice, any notice given, in respect of the same income component or amount and the same tax year, by the person claiming or receiving youth allowance is taken not to be, or not to have been, given.

Acceptance of notice
 1067G‑F15 The Secretary is to accept a notice referred to in point 1067G‑F14 for the purposes of this Module only if the Secretary is satisfied that the estimate is reasonable.

Income reduced by maintenance paid by a parent
 1067G‑F20 A parent's combined parental income for a tax year is reduced by an amount equal to any maintenance paid during the tax year by the parent:
 (a) for the upkeep of a child of the parent if the parent does not have care of the child; or
 (b) to a former partner of the parent.

Submodule 5—Parental income free area

Parental income free area
 1067G‑F22 For the purposes of this Module, a person's parental income free area for a time in a calendar year is an amount equal to the income free area under clause 38N of Schedule 1 to the A New Tax System (Family Assistance) Act 1999, as affected by indexation under Schedule 4 to that Act, on 1 January in the calendar year.
Note: The parental income free area is not indexed under this Act because it is affected by indexation under the A New Tax System (Family Assistance) Act 1999.

Submodule 6—If person's combined parental income exceeds parental income free area

 (b) a parent of one of the persons is also a parent of each of the other persons.
Note: See also points 1067G‑F30 and 1067G‑F31, which extend the situations in which a person will have parental income in common with other persons.
