It’s OZ tax time- be prepared!

John Doe • July 4, 2016

It’s tax time in Australia! While the government has delayed the backpacker tax by six months, the end of the Australian tax year is just around the corner and it’s time for backpackers and working holidaymakers to file their tax returns…and possibly get a refund! The sooner, the better! File your return – get your refund Anyone who works in Australia and earns income is obliged by law to file a tax return after the end of the tax year which is on 30 June 2016 . Filing a tax return sounds like a hassle for most people, but the upside is that if you’ve lived in the country for more than 183 days, you could get back some of the tax you overpaid.

Your Australian tax refund depends on a variety of factors:

  • Length of stay
  • Type of job you have
  • Amount of tax you paid throughout the financial year.

In a nutshell, the ATO (Australian Tax Office) has the final say on your refund. Hate dealing with long tax forms? Don’t panic! You can use an authorised tax agent like Taxback.com to claim your tax refund on your behalf.
