Personal Tax provides information about individuals, as reported on their income tax returns. A tax return is a form used to disclose income, tax withheld, deductions and/or tax offsets for an income year. An individual is required to lodge an income tax return for many reasons. Two of the more common reasons are if they paid tax during the year, or if their taxable income exceeded certain amounts.
The purpose of the tax return is to calculate the difference between the tax withheld during the year and the amount of tax actually due. This results in either a refund or an amount payable.
Individuals have from 1 July to 31 October to lodge their tax return, unless it is prepared by a registered tax agent. In this case, the deadline may be extended under the particular tax agent’s lodgment program for that year of income, but generally not later than 15 May in the following calendar year.
Individuals generally receive most of their income from salary or wages, Australian Government pensions and benefits, or investments. They may also have business income or business losses.
