Tax return in Australia

Do you need to file a tax return?

The Fiscal year in Australia starts on 1 of July and ends on 30 June of the next year. So from the beginning of July till the end of October you need to lodge the Tax Return, which is a duty of Australian law. If you have been living and working in Australia for more than six months then you should fill out your individual income tax return and pay taxes or get a tax refund if eligible.

Often, it is really hard to sort through bureaucracy to get back taxes for many reasons: talking about taxes can be difficult, there is the risk of making a mistake, or you don’t know how to get the whole refund.

Doing it alone is a good idea, but often there is the risk of losing money or in the worst case scenario, you have to pay more taxes for filling out the tax back in the wrong way. Thanks to a supporting team of accountants, Just Australia can offer this service.

Working holiday visas and students tax returns

Working holiday visa holders pay 15% of taxes from the very first dollar earned. But if you earned less than $37,000 you are not required to lodge a tax return.

If you hold any other visa, then you don’t pay any taxes if you salary is below $18,200. If it’s above:

from $18,200 to $37,000 you pay 19% for every $ earned above $18,200
from $37,000 to $90,000 you pay $3,572 plus 32.5% for every $ earned above $37,000
