Encourage people to wait until late July before lodging so most of their information can pre-fill.
If they lodge too early, some of their information may not be pre-filled in the Australian Taxation Office myTax. Waiting can help them avoid mistakes and reduce the chance they’ll need to amend their tax return later.
You can share this message with your customers as part of your tax time support.
