About this form

You must complete an Income Statement every financial quarter during the period of NEIS Assistance. The purpose of the Income Statement is to allow you as the business owner, and the Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations (DEEWR) to monitor the progress of your NEIS business. DEEWR will also determine continuing eligibility for NEIS Allowance (if applicable). This is done by your NEIS provider applying external income and viability tests based on the information that you provide (note: external income does not include income from your NEIS business). Giving false or misleading information is a serious offence.

When to complete this form

You will need to complete an Income Statement after each financial quarter during which you are operating your NEIS business. Statements must be lodged with your NEIS provider within 10 days after the end of each financial quarter. Failure to do so may result in the suspension of your NEIS Assistance. A financial quarter is a period from:

• 1 July to 30 September;
• 1 October to 31 December;
• 1 January to 31 March; and
• 1 April to 30 June.

If you commenced NEIS Assistance less than four weeks before the end of a financial quarter, you are not required to submit an Income Statement to your NEIS provider for that quarter. If this is the case, you should include the information from this period in your Income Statement for the next full financial quarter, which will be deemed to be your first financial quarter.

Who completes this form?

The NEIS participant named in the NEIS Participant Agreement should complete this form. You should only include your personal details on this form. Any partners in the NEIS business who are also receiving NEIS Assistance, including partners*, must complete a separate Income Statement.

* Definition of partner: For Centrelink purposes a person is considered to be your partner if you and the person are living together, or usually live together, and are married; or in a registered relationship (opposite or same-sex); or in a de facto relationship (opposite or same-sex).

Centrelink considers a person to be in a de facto relationship from the time they commence living with another person as a member of a couple.

From 1 July 2009, Centrelink recognises all couples, opposite-sex and
same-sex.
