For the purposes of FA, a recipient is a non-lodger if they and/or their partner have not lodged an individual income tax return for the relevant income year (1.1.R.23), if required to do so, by 30 June of the first lodgement year (1.1.L.30). If one or both partners is not required to lodge an income tax return, they must notify the FAO.
