This month, ATO is reminding you that October 31 is the last date for lodging your tax return, in case you lodge it yourself.

 

And if you are using a tax agent for the first time or using a different agent from last year, you need to contact them before 31 October.

 

Please note - if you're preparing your own tax return, you can lodge online with myTax or you can lodge with a paper tax return. To use myTax, you will need a myGov account linked to the ATO.

 

Alternatively you can lodge with the ATOs Tax Help service, a free and confidential service for people who earn less than fifty thousand dollars and have simple tax affairs.
