The refund is generally available to parents and guardians of children in primary or secondary school who receive Family Tax Benefit A[i] and offers a refund of up to 50 per cent of the cost of certain education expenses, including notebooks and PCs[ii]. Parents can receive a refund of up to $397 for every child at primary school, and up to $794 for every child at secondary school, in the 2010-2011 tax year.
