If your taxable income is under the tax-free threshold you may still need to lodge a tax return.
Common reasons for this include, if you:
– are entitled to the private health insurance rebate but did not claim your correct entitlement as a premium reduction
– had pay as you go (PAYG) withheld from payments received during the year
– had a reportable fringe benefits amount on your PAYG payment summary
– had reportable employer superannuation contributions on your PAYG payment summary
– made a loss or can claim a loss made in a previous year
– were an Australian resident for tax purposes and had exempt foreign employment income and $1 or more of other income
– were a liable or recipient parent under a child support assessment unless you received one or more Australian Government allowances, pensions or payments
