Child Support Act 1991

Amount of child support payable under formula assessment made by Commissioner - Penalties for underestimation

46: Interest to be charged on underestimations

You could also call this:

“Interest charges for guessing too low don't apply anymore”

If you underestimate your child support payments, you used to have to pay interest on the amount you underestimated. However, this rule no longer applies. The government removed this rule on 24 July 1999.
