Filing Taxes in Australia

All Australians who earn above the $18,200 tax-free threshold are required by law to file a tax return. Failure to do so can lead to penalties and fines and so it’s advisable to file on time and compliantly. We have launched a special service for Australian citizens, permanent residents and TSS 482 visa holders (replacement of 457 visa). Not only will we file your return but we will also check if you are due a tax refund. We find that most Australian citizens could be due a tax refund due to being eligible to claim work-related expenses or because of a range of other circumstances.

Are you an international student in Australia? If you’re working part-time you could be eligible to claim a tax refund. Students working part-time in Australia pay on average 15.5% income tax on their earnings. Taxback.com can help you get all of this or part of it back.

Most importantly, we will make sure you declare the correct residency status once you arrive in Oz. You will either be a non-resident or a resident for tax purposes; it will depend on various factors.

We also provide tax refunds for students on a gap year in Australia. No matter what job you are doing – fruit picking or bar work, there is every chance you could be due back a tax refund. If so, we’re the right people to get your student tax back!

Our average student tax refund is AU$2600 so don’t delay and find out what you’re owed today. If you're a permanent resident or Australian citizen click here.
