Tax time is here

Published: 3 July 2025

The best time to lodge your tax return is from late July when most of your information has been pre-filled for you.

When you lodge your tax return, it’s important that it’s correct and you’ve included all your income. If you make a mistake, you’ll need to amend it.

Waiting for pre-fill means there’s less information you’ll need to fill in yourself. Pre-fill includes:

  • some government payments
  • bank interest
  • private health insurance.

Once you lodge your tax return, we’ll use this information to work out your:

  • Medicare levy
  • families balancing outcome
  • child support assessment.
