Questions
How long does the tax return process take?
Electronic tax returns are processed by the ATO within two weeks, with most refunds issued within 10 working days.
Do I need to declare overseas income?
Australian residents who are permanent residents or citizens must declare worldwide income, while temporary visa holders only declare Australian-source income.
What work-related expenses can I claim?
Tools under $300 can be claimed fully, while equipment over $300 requires depreciation claims. Business-use items like computers and safety gear qualify.
How long should I keep tax records?
Maintain records for 5 years from your tax return lodgement date, including receipts, income statements, and payment summaries.
Can I claim work tools purchased with an ABN?
Yes, but divide costs between business and personal use. Temporary full expensing allows instant write-offs for qualifying equipment under $150,000.
What's the difference between TFN and ABN for tax purposes?
ABN holders manage their own tax obligations, while TFN income has tax withheld by employers through PAYG systems.
