1.1.P.130 Private collection (FTB)

Definition

For the purposes of FTB, private collection is an arrangement not involving collection by the CSA, where child support (1.1.C.20) is paid directly to:

• the payee (1.1.P.71), or
• a third party such as a school or a bank.

Child support payments collected privately can include any combination of:

• cash (1.1.M.10),
• non-cash maintenance (1.1.M.10),
• capitalised maintenance (1.1.M.10), or
• lump sum child support (1.1.C.20).

When referring to private collection, CSA staff use the terms:

• not registered for collection, or
• non-collectable.
