About individual tax returns
In Australia, individual tax returns are lodged between July 1 and October 31 each year. If you use a tax agent, you may be able to get an extension to the October deadline.
The ATO has access to the majority of your income records as your employer(s) provide them with an income statement each year. However, you should also report any business income that you have not reported through the year. It’s important to be honest and declare ALL of your income as the ATO will find out if you don’t. They have very sophisticated data matching software, which can alert them to any inconsistencies with what you declare and your bank accounts.
You can reduce your taxable income by claiming tax deductible expenses. You can claim the cost of work-related expenses, like tools, travel, working from home. You can also claim a tax deduction for money you pay to charities, some insurances and other costs. You must keep a record and you must have paid the expenses yourself, without being reimbursed. Claiming deductions really can help boost your tax refund, so make sure to claim everything you can. Read our post on tax deductions for more information
