UCWB is excited to be offering the Tax Help service again this year. A Tax Help volunteer can help you to lodge your tax return online as well as:
- create a myGov account
- lodge an amendment to your tax return
- claim a refund of franking credits
- tell ATO if you don’t need to lodge a tax return.
The eligibility criteria for this service has been updated since last year and is now accessible to a wider range of individuals including staff and clients.
You are eligible for Tax Help if your income is around $70,000 or less, have simple tax affairs for the income year and you didn’t:
- work as a contractor – for example, a contract cleaner, taxi or uber driver
- run a business, including as a sole trader
- have partnership or trust matters
- sell shares or an investment property
- own a rental property
- have capital gains tax (CGT)
- receive royalties
- receive distributions from a trust, other than a managed fund
- receive foreign income, that is not a foreign pension or annuity.
If you are not eligible for Tax Help you may qualify for assistance from a National Tax Clinic program.
Our Tax Help volunteer will be available to assist you on Thursdays starting on the 18th of September.
Appointments are available between 10.30am-2.30pm.
