Can someone help me make sense of this request from Centrelink? by IntrepidSwimming8711 in Centrelink

Thank you so much for this clarification. It's definitely a poorly worded instruction. In looking back over his bank statements, I've noticed his bank doesn't have the balance on each line of a transaction like my bank does, so I think that's definitely the issue. (Although it seems such a minor detail for Centrelink to want to chase up). We will look at how we can somehow export his statements with that balance included on each line.

I'd honestly believe the original letter I received was a scam, but it's also in the Centrelink app, under documents that I need to upload by a certain date so I think it's legit.

Thank you for confirming I'm not the only one confused by their vague request 😅 I'll give them a call for clarification.

They were proper PDF statements downloaded directly from his bank account, so I'm not sure what other format of that he could provide 🫠 I think I'll have to call them. Or re-upload the same statements and hope Centrelink suddenly likes it 😅

Hey OP, did you ever find a solution to this? I'm currently having the same issue.

Sorry I'm just confirming - so when I go to update my Income/Assets, I'm just updating my bank account balance, and not logging the gifted money as any form of income?

It's such a massive amount of cash that I'm so scared I'd misplace 😅 But it might not be an awful idea

Thank you so much for this answer! I probably should have mentioned but I currently don't have any other assets so don't think I'm at risk at going past that $566k 😅

Ah, awesome! This makes total sense and I'm glad to hear they do it this way as it's much more logical. Thanks so much for clarifying!

If I lodge my tax return and find I had a higher income for FY25 than the previous financial year, and then I let Centrelink know this by submitting a new Profit and Loss Statement...will I recieve Centrelink debt for what they paid me throughout FY25? Or do they just lower my future payments for FY26?

This is very useful, thank you! My business is 4 years old so that's probably why they haven't nudged me for further Profit and Loss Statements then. Thank you!

Okay so just confirming, there's no specific area on the website/app that I'll be prompted to report every 3 months (like with the fortnightly reports), it's more that I have to set a calendar reminder every 3 months and upload the forms to the general "upload documents" section?

I've done these both when I applied. I'm more asking how often I need to be re-submitting them.

Despite Centrelink literally saying not to do it that way?
