You only get the rebate on the part of the fees YOU have paid, not on the subsidised part.

You get 1/3 of your fees paid back up to a max of $330 for the financial year

You can only apply as of April 1st for the financial year just ended, but can apply at any time for previous years, all you need is a reciept from the preschool/daycare stating the amount paid by you

You OR your partner can claim the full amount, or you can claim a portion each, but the total per FAMILY is a max of $330, regardless of income.

And for those whose kids are at school, but attending after school programmes if you are at work, you can also claim on those after school fees as well. schol fees themselves are classed as donations if it is for a public school, and you can claim 1/3 of them back as well, seperate from the childcare rebate.

To get the form, either download one from the IRD website, print it out and send it in, or ring them and ask for a childcare rebate form. Once you have claimed for one year, they will automatically send out forms for the following years. They are usually pretty quick to process it if everything is up to scratch, every year they set up a temporary team especially to process rebates as there are thousands coming in for the first month or so from April 1st onwards.

Cant remember what else was asked... and I hear dinner coming lol (yeah I know, its late, but pregnancy can be blamed for many things apparently, including late night runs to the local fast food joints

Shelley very sure, I have received it for the past 4 years and those 4 years Andrew has been in DC we have receied the subsidy. It just depends on how much you hav paid the DC. They should some time in April give you a printout of your payments for the past financial year.

yep as i was going to say, opnly one person can claim but if you previously didn't know about it you can get a readout from your daycare from the last 3 years and they will pay out for the last 3 years as long as they haven't previously.. so the first time we found out about this we ended up with just under $1000 which was nice. and yep it's not much but as others have said $300 is $300.]]> Sat, 28 Mar 2009 20:17:02 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25525&PID=647487&title=child-care-rebate#647487 <![CDATA[Child care rebate : Also, doesn't matter how...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25525&PID=647436&title=child-care-rebate#647436 Author: linda

Also, doesn't matter how many kids you have in childcare you only get the rebate once. So we had two kids in creche and still only got the $330.00. Still, its there so we always claim it.

Definitely apply Sparkle, you will get a proportion up to the $330.00 so you will probably get all you paid back.

I remember paying I think about $7000 & getting $330 back whoopty sh*t! I thought but it's better than nothing.

I can't remember where I got my first form from? Try the IRD website but they send you the forms after that.

YOu have to wait until the end of the "year" to get the print out from your childcare place, soon as you get that send it in & you'll have it in about 5 days they are really quick in paying it to a bank account]]> Sat, 28 Mar 2009 15:34:38 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25525&PID=647292&title=child-care-rebate#647292 <![CDATA[Child care rebate : And is it the end of the financial...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25525&PID=647288&title=child-care-rebate#647288 Author: sparkle

Yes if you get the subsidy you can get the tax credit, as we have always gotten the subsidy and they tax credit.

But it aslso depends on how much you pay in daycare. The form does tell you that thou.

I don't see why even if you have a subsidy that you couldn't recieved a tax credit cause it's only $330.00 that you get as the full amount.

The incredibly uninformative IRD site says ..

Tax credits (formerly rebates) for working parents

You may apply for a tax credit if you earn a taxable income and:

have donated money to a charitable organisation, and/or
have paid school fees, and/or
have paid for childcare.
Fill in a Tax credit claim form (IR526) at the end of the tax year. We will send you a form automatically if you claimed a tax credit in the previous year.

After you send the form to us, we calculate how much you are entitled to receive as a tax credit for the year.
