Education tax refund, baby bonus and refund of franking tax credits claims

Email to a friend
Printer friendly format

Education tax refund (ETR) claims, baby bonus (BB) claims and applications for refund of franking credits (RFC) can be lodged:

  • on your client's income tax return, or
  • as a stand alone claim, if your client is not required to lodge a return.

To ensure claims can be processed, they must be completed correctly.

What you need to do

If you are lodging via the electronic lodgment service (ELS) for a client who is not otherwise required to lodge an individual tax return, do not complete the spouse details section of the return.
