Important Reminder: Our Income Tax Calculator provides estimates of tax refund/tax payable specifically designed for Australian resident for tax purposes. It’s important to note that the provided refund amount is only an estimate. For precise tax refund information, it is crucial to consult with our Tax Specialist for a free consultation. Please note that the calculator includes a 2% Medicare levy for Australian residents. However, it does not account for the Medicare levy surcharge, which depends on factors such as your income and private health insurance. To ensure accuracy, it is essential to lodge your tax return. Keep in mind that the calculator provides an estimate and not a final tax return summary.

    1. You must have spent the money yourself (and not be reimbursed).
    2. It must be directly related to earning your income.
    3. You must have a record to prove it (e.g., receipts, bank statements, credit card statements).
  • Examples of work-related deductions include :
    • Car expenses
    • Travel expenses
    • Clothing, laundry, and dry cleaning expenses

Investment-related Deductions :

  • If you own a rental property, you must declare your rental income and claim eligible tax deductions.

    • Interest expenses on loans used to acquire the property (including mortgages, personal loans, and overdrafts)

What is your total Tax withheld?

Your Total Tax Withheld refers to the amount of tax that your employer deducted from your salary and wages and paid to the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) on your behalf. This represents the tax credits you have accumulated throughout the financial year and will be applied when you prepare your tax return. When calculating what to include in the “Total Tax Withheld” field, make sure to include any PAYG instalment paid, if applicable. To find out your specific Total Tax Withheld, you can check your myGov account.

What is a Tax refund?

A tax refund is an amount of money that you may receive from the Australian Taxation Office when you have paid more in tax throughout the year than what you actually owe. It is a tax refund for the excess tax you have already paid to the Australian Taxation Office (ATO). To ensure you claim the maximum tax refund and accurately prepare your tax return, it’s advisable to seek assistance from our registered tax agent.

Here’s an example: Let’s say your tax payable is $30,000, but your employer has withheld $35,000 from your income and paid it to the ATO. In this case, your Total Tax Withheld is $35,000. Since your tax payable is less than the amount withheld ($30,000 < $35,000), you are eligible for a tax refund of $5,000. We as a registered tax agent can guide you through the process, help you identify eligible deductions, and ensure your tax return is accurately lodged.

It’s important to consider factors such as your taxable income, tax deductions, tax offsets, and other financial circumstances when estimating your tax refund. Additional factors like the Medicare levy surcharge, private health insurance, dependent children, or higher education loan program obligations may also affect the final tax refund amount. By consulting a registered tax agent, you can receive personalized advice tailored to your specific situation, maximizing your potential refund.
