This tax time, here’s what to watch out for – and when it’s better to lodge early or later
Noor Younis/Unsplash Tax time is coming – and with it, the unfortunate reality of needing to do something to get ready. Don’t put your head in the sand and ignore it. That’s how you can end up missing the October 31 deadline and potentially end up with fines and penalties. And don’t risk taking tax advice from unofficial sources. This year, the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) has warned against relying on online tips or “tax hacks” from “ finfluencers ”: financial influencer
As tax season approaches, individuals are reminded to file by the October 31 deadline to avoid penalties. The Australian Taxation Office (ATO) is cautioning against relying on unofficial tax advice, including "finfluencers" and AI platforms, emphasizing the importance of consulting registered tax agents. While the ATO possesses extensive data on taxpayer transactions, individuals remain responsible for accurately reporting all income and substantiating any claimed deductions. The ATO's online tools, like MyTax, are improving, making self-lodgement a viable option for an increasing number of Australians.
Understanding tax obligations and reliable advice sources is crucial for accurate filing and avoiding potential financial penalties.
