Why are the payments to single people the same as the payments for married couples? Isn't it based on how many people have to eat in the household?

They arent the same if you read the article

Only the no-children amounts differ.

For example, if you are single you could receive a maximum payment of:

  • $234 if you have no children
  • $387 if you have one child
  • $467 if you have two children
  • $548 if you have three children
  • $628 if you have four children

And, if you are married or have a common-law partner, you could receive up to:

  • $306 if you have no children
  • $387 if you have one child
  • $467 if you have two children
  • $548 if you have three children
  • $628 if you have four children

Why is the partnered with no children amount higher than the individual with no children amount? Both of them are just for 1 person because your partner is going to get their own refund aren't they?

Maybe, but I don't think so. I think it's being done as an adjustment to the GST rebate and that goes to only one member of the couple.
