Part 2
Amount of child support payable under formula assessment made by Commissioner
Amounts payable in respect of receiving carers
36AWhere parent is sole receiving carer
This section applies where, in respect of a qualifying child, there is only 1 receiving carer, and that carer (person P) is a parent of the child.
When this section applies, the amount of child support payable in respect of person P is—
- the amount of annual child support that person P would pay if the difference between person P's income percentage and care cost percentage (which, under the formula in section 30, is a negative percentage) were a positive percentage; or
- if the multi-group cap applies, the amount payable under the multi-group cap, but only if it is less than the amount payable under paragraph (a).
However, no child support is payable under subsection (2) in respect of a receiving carer of a qualifying child if the receiving carer provides less than 35% of ongoing daily care to the child.
