Tax Talk - a monthly radio segment, brought to you in Punjabi Source: ATO

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.

 Hear this interview with Jagjit SIngh (in Punjabi), in which he explains more.
