    Why is the partnered with no children amount higher than the individual with no children amount? Both of them are just for 1 person because your partner is going to get their own refund aren’t they?

      Maybe, but I don’t think so. I think it’s being done as an adjustment to the GST rebate and that goes to only one member of the couple.

        I don’t have children, and my spouse only eats about 1/6 of our food (crumbs, essentially), so it makes perfect sense for the couples rebate to be only that small fraction more than a single person’s, rather than being 2x.

          I agree completely! I think the system sucks, but that’s how it currently operates. And always will unless we’re going to hit the streets in mass rallies and protests.
