42 Secretary determines shorter repayment period

When determining an individual’s entitlement to a family tax benefit advance under section 35A of the Family Assistance Administration Act, the Secretary may determine that the repayment period for the family tax benefit advance is a period of less than 182 days, if the Secretary is satisfied that it is appropriate to determine the shorter repayment period having regard to: (a) circumstances affecting the individual’s eligibility for family tax benefit; and (b) circumstances affecting the rate of family tax benefit that the individual is entitled to be paid.
