The Government has announced that subject to the passage of legislation, the option of receiving payments of Family Tax Benefit from the tax system will cease from 1 July 2009.

This means that the option to be paid FTB by asking your employer to take less tax out of your (or your partner's) wages ceased from 1 July 2008.
