I undestand that many of you will be really keen to lodge your income tax returns as early as possible this tax time because of current COVID-19 situation which created a lot of challenges for many people. This is a great idea especially if you are planning to receive a tax refund but I want to remind you how beneficial it is to wait until all of the necessary information becomes available from such sources as your employer, banks, Centrelink and other organisations currently reporting to the ATO before tax returns are submitted. This will make the lodgment process easier, more accurate and will avoid having to make amendments later on, if inadvertent mistakes are made. And as always a reminder to keep your data safe and secure online. Check our important tax tip below.
