Do you need help lodging your tax return? You may be eligible for Tax Help, a program by the Australian Taxation Office, if your income is $60 000 or less for the past financial year. A trained and accredited community volunteer will provide a free and confidential service to help complete your tax return online.

What can volunteers help you with?

Volunteers can help you lodge your tax return or amendment online or claim a refund of franking credits. If our volunteers work out that you don’t need to lodge a tax return, they can help you complete a non-lodgment advice.

Are you eligible for Tax Help?

You are eligible for Tax Help if your income is around $60,000 or less for the income year and you did not:

work as a contractor, for example a contract cleaner or taxi driver

sell shares or an investment property
own a rental property
have capital gains tax (CGT)
