Need assistance completing your 2024 tax return?

The City's libraries can help you lodge your tax returns with a FREE and confidential service supported by the Australian Taxation Office through a network of ATO-trained and accredited community volunteers.

The one-hour sessions are held at Manning Library

Every Thursday: 10am, 11am, 12pm from 22 August to the end of September 2024.

Please bring the following to your appointment:

your mobile phone to receive your myGov SMS security code
