今天收到ATO的update：
Dependent tax offset - stopping returns for review
New legislation changing entitlements to the dependent (invalid and carer) tax offset came into effect from 1 July 2012.
Unless your clients are eligible for a zone or overseas tax offset, they are no longer able to claim offsets for a:
spouse born on or after 1 July 1952
parent
parent-in-law
invalid relative.
Your clients can only claim a tax offset for dependents in receipt of an invalidity pension or carer of such a person.
We expected that very few taxpayers would be eligible to receive the new tax offset; however 32,512 taxpayers have made claims.
As a result, we are stopping all returns with a dependent tax offset claim greater than $0 for review. We will follow-up on any notices of assessment that have already issued.
如果你claim了以上offset， 看来要准备文件了。

unfortunately the Bill has passed the royal consent on 28 Jun 2013, and it is a current law now.
for more information, please refer to the below link, schedule 7, subdivision 61-A

首先他们不一定是resident for tax purposes
其次今年的offset 要是残疾的父母才能申请。大多数人都是不符合条件的。
如果你现在发现条件不符，可以给ATO提供 voluntary disclosure。 这样可以减轻罚款。
