How the pre-check works
The allowance is for families, including single-parent families, permanently living in an officially eligible mountainous or disadvantaged area.
The official application cross-checks family status, residence and income. This tool uses your answers and does not query the official area lists or AADE records.
Confirm that your family fits an eligible definition, includes a person with a qualifying citizenship and has lived in an eligible area for the last two tax years.
Use the income definition from the official application. AADE calculates it automatically, including specific income exclusions described in the official FAQ.
