How much could you get back?
A quick, accurate estimate of your refund using the ATO's tax rates, offsets, Medicare levy and study loan thresholds for each year.
This is an estimate only, based on ATO rates for the selected year and the figures you enter. It doesn't include every offset (such as the seniors and pensioners offset or private health insurance rebate adjustments) or ATO debts. Your actual result is confirmed when your return is prepared and assessed.

Tax refunds: your questions answered
How accurate is the estimate?
It uses the ATO's tax rates, low income tax offset, Medicare levy and surcharge thresholds, study loan repayment rates and franking credit rules for the year you choose. It's only as accurate as the figures you enter, and it doesn't include every offset or any debts the ATO may hold. We confirm the exact amount when we prepare your return.
Why might I owe tax instead of getting a refund?
Common reasons are having two jobs and claiming the tax-free threshold on both, investment or rental income with no tax withheld, a study loan repayment, or the Medicare levy surcharge if you don't have private hospital cover.
What deductions can I claim?
Work-related costs you paid yourself and weren't reimbursed for – such as car and travel, working from home, tools, uniforms, training, phone and internet – plus donations, the cost of managing your tax affairs and income protection insurance. You need records for what you claim, and we'll check what applies to you.
When is my tax return due?
If you lodge yourself, your return is due by 31 October after the end of the financial year. If you're on a registered tax agent's client list, you'll usually have a later due date. Overdue? Get in touch – we lodge prior-year returns all the time.
How much does a tax return cost?
Individual tax returns start from $150, and our fee is tax deductible in the following year. You'll get a fixed quote before we start.
How do I send you my documents?
