New Zealand family denied Family Boost rebate due to exceeding quarterly income threshold.

A New Zealand family was denied the Family Boost early childhood education rebate despite earning under the $180,000 income cap. The rebate, which offers up to $75 per week for childcare costs, is calculated quarterly. The family's income exceeded the quarterly threshold of $45,000 due to multiple paydays in a quarter, affecting their eligibility. Inland Revenue confirmed that each quarterly assessment is final, with no annual adjustments.
