Can anyone here tell me what should be included as " income " when calculating child support ?
Obviously all income from an hourly wage should be included , but what about bonuses , commissions , government child tax benefit payments and income tax refunds ?
Example : a person earns $ 40 ,000 per year , gets $ 1500 per year in commissions , a $ 500 bonus once per year , receives $ 200 per month from the government for the Ontario child benefit and a $ 3000 tax refund .
When calculating child support depending on what is included and what is not , it could be as low as $ 40,000 and as high as $47,400
