The rates on the chart are based on your eldest child being under 16 and all other children being under 13. To work out how much you can expect if you have children
older than this youll need to:
add $8 to the FTC amount for each child (other than the eldest) aged 13, 14 or 15
add $13 to the FTC amount if your eldest child is 16, 17 or 18
add $30 to the FTC amount for any other child aged 16, 17 or 18
If youre receiving a foster care allowance (board payments from Child, Youth and Family) or an orphans benefit, the amounts listed in the chart above
may not apply to you. Our online calculator Estimate your Working for Families Tax Credits in the Work it out section, key word Working for Families Tax
Credits, can help you estimate your entitlement. Alternatively you can call us on 0800 227 773 and well help you calculate your correct entitlement.

M I N I M U M FA M I LY TA X C R E D I T
If your family income is below $21,216 a year after tax (or $24,528 before tax), you may also be entitled to this payment.

Notes

The amounts in the charts are estimates only, and are initial payment amounts which may alter if your circumstances change. If your income

is above $120,500 or you have more than six children, go to our online calculator Estimate your Working for Families Tax Credits in the Work it
out section, key word Working for Families Tax Credits, or call us on 0800 227 773.

To see which payment type you are eligible to receive, go to www.ird.govt.nz/wff-tax-credits/entitlement/what-is-wfftc

You cant receive Working for Families Tax Credits (WfFTC) and the independent earner tax credit (IETC) at the same time. If you currently receive
the IETC by using the ME or ME SL tax code and are entitled to WfFTC, you must change your tax code with your employer at the same time as
you apply for WfFTC.
