The Australian Taxation Office (ATO) is continuing to provide dedicated support to taxpayers this tax time.
Assistant Commissioner Tim Loh acknowledged that for some, tax can seem overwhelming.
‘The ATO is here to help with the support you need to get it right this tax time.’
Tax Help
The Tax Help program is a free and confidential service open to people who earn $60,000 or less each year and have simple tax affairs.
‘Our ATO-trained volunteers are there to walk you through all stages of your tax return – from creating a myGov account, to navigating lodging through myTax, letting us know if you don’t need to lodge, and even how to lodge an amendment if you’ve made a mistake. They can also help you find any superannuation you may have forgotten you had,’ Mr Loh said.
The Tax Help program also supports First Nations people and culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) communities, providing support and assistance in many community languages.
The program is available now until the end of October.
