Do You Need to Lodge a Tax Return?

You are required to lodge a tax return if your income exceeds the tax-free threshold for the financial year.

  • Tax-Free Threshold: For the 2021-22 financial year, the threshold is $18,200. If you earned less, you don’t need to lodge a return.
  • Mandatory Lodgment: If you earned more than $18,200, you must lodge a return — even if no tax is owed — to report income and claim deductions.

Other situations requiring lodgment include:

  • Tax withheld from payments.
  • Foreign income, including pensions or annuities.
  • Distributions from trusts, partnerships, or managed funds.
  • Eligibility for the private health insurance rebate.
  • Receipt of taxable government payments, like Centrelink benefits.

You should always "double-check" your tax details before submission.
