Dependent tax credit information

Detects dependant-related tax credit and family benefit claims for an identified person: Family Tax Benefit claims, dependant (invalid and carer) tax offset claims, US child tax credit / Schedule 8812, with dependant names or dates of birth, number of children or claimed amounts.

Type: regex
Engine: boost_regex
Confidence: medium
Confidence justification: Medium: the primary phrases also appear in policies, guidance, blank forms and news, so enforce tiers require a populated field with a non-placeholder value and 85 adds a record-specific populated detail plus independent corroboration. Person and record values are customer-defined, so the field regexes use labelled loose values with a placeholder guard. 85/75 are heuristic evidence tiers, not measured accuracy.
Detection quality: Topic false positive
Jurisdictions: au, global
Regulations: A New Tax System (Family Assistance) Act 1999 (Cth), Taxation Administration Act 1953 (Cth), Privacy Act 1988 (Cth), Information Privacy Act 2009 (Qld)

Known false positives

Policies, procedures, regulator guidance, fact sheets and training material that name the record type. Mitigation: Enforce tiers require populated fields; guidance has labels without values, and policy/guidance/training/media-release framing is excluded by the NOT-group.
Blank forms, templates and system configuration screens. Mitigation: Blank lines, bracket placeholders, XXX and n/a/tbc values are rejected by the placeholder guard; template/fixture words are excluded by template-exclusion.
News, statistics and vendor marketing. Mitigation: No populated person or record fields, so these stay at 65 discovery.
Tax return worksheets for the taxpayer's own records. Mitigation: These are genuine personal records; 85 requires dependant detail plus corroboration.
