Frequently Asked
Tax Questions

Everything you need to know about lodging your Australian tax return, managing deductions, and staying ATO compliant.

Ask a Question

If you lodge your own tax return, the deadline is 31 October each year for the previous financial year (1 July–30 June). If you use a registered tax agent, you may have until 15 May of the following year. Late lodgements can incur ATO penalties.

Australians can claim deductions for expenses directly related to earning income — including home office costs, vehicle expenses, tools and equipment, uniforms, self-education, and union fees. You must keep records and the ATO allows a 67¢/hour fixed rate method for WFH expenses in FY2024-25.

Yes. CGT applies to investment properties sold in Australia. However, your primary place of residence is generally exempt. If you’ve owned the asset for more than 12 months, you may be eligible for a 50% CGT discount. Consult our CGT Guide for full details.

Most Australian residents pay the Medicare Levy of 2% of their taxable income to fund the public health system. Some low-income earners may receive a reduction or exemption. The Medicare Levy Surcharge (1–1.5%) may apply if you don’t hold private hospital cover and earn above $93,000.

Concessional (pre-tax) super contributions — including employer contributions — are taxed at 15% inside your fund, often lower than your marginal rate. Contributions are capped at $27,500 per year. Non-concessional (after-tax) contributions up to $110,000/year are not taxed in the fund.
