Centrelink Age Pension payment rates, cut-off limits to change for 2.5 million in weeks

People on the Age Pension will see their payment rates, along with the cut-off limits under the income and assets tests increase from March 20.

Australians receiving the Age Pension will see their payments increase in a few weeks, along with the cut-off limits for the income and asset tests. This means more than 2.5 million age pensioners will be able to earn slightly more money and have higher-value assets than before.

From March 20, a number of changes to social security payments, rates and limits will kick in as part of regular indexation. This will see more than five million people receive more money in their bank accounts each fortnight.

Single pensioners will receive an extra $22.20 per fortnight, with the total rate increasing to $1,200.90. Couples will see a $16.70 lift in their payments each, with the amount each partner receives going up to $905.20.

That 10% tax you collect on your taxable sales? That’s for your BAS, not your biz. 👀

🔥 Our hot tip: Keep GST separate from your cash flow.

Why it helps:
✅ Makes your cash flow easier to track
✅ When your BAS is due, you’ll have the funds ready to pay.

👉 You could start by setting the money aside in a different bank account. You can also consider reporting and paying monthly with smaller, more manageable payments.
