Tax help - City Library

Would you like a little help with your taxes? If your taxes are simple, our friendly volunteer is ready to help you lodge your taxes online using e-tax!

You are eligible for free Tax Help if your income is around $60,000 or less 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.

Bookings are essential.

Sessions also available at Hutt Street Library branch.

You will need to bring the following with you for your appointment:

• your myGov username or email you use for myGov and password – if you are unable to locate or remember your myGov sign in details, or don't have a myGov account, our volunteers can help
• your mobile phone to receive your myGov SMS security code
• your bank account details (BSB and account number)
• your tax file number (TFN)
• an original or amended notice of assessment from any one of the last five years
• income statements or payments summaries from all sources
• all your receipts for gifts, donations and work-related expenses
• details of any child support payments made
• details of your spouse's (married or de-facto) taxable income or a reasonable estimate if you had a spouse at any time during the financial year.

This is a partnership with the Australian Taxation Office and MyGov. Sessions are facilitated by volunteers and are subject to availability.
