The Australian financial year ends 30 June.
Most people spend hours scrambling in July β missing deductions they were entitled to, paying more tax than they owed, waiting weeks for a refund that should have arrived in 2 days.
This guide exists so that is not you.

WHAT CHANGED IN 2025-26 β AND WHY IT MATTERS NOW
βββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
The ATO changed the rules this year. Most people don't know yet.
β NEW TAX RATES β The Stage 3 cuts reduced the 19% bracket to 16%. Every Australian earning above AU$18,200 pays less tax. Do you know what you are actually owed?
β AU$20,000 INSTANT ASSET WRITE-OFF β Closes 30 June 2026. If you bought equipment for your ABN this year, you can deduct the full cost. After 30 June, that window closes.
β PLATFORM INCOME β Uber, Airbnb, Deliveroo, eBay. The ATO receives your income data directly from these platforms. If you earned through any of them, it must be declared β they already know.
β HOME OFFICE β The ATO has flagged this as a compliance priority. Most people are doing it wrong. This guide shows you the correct method.
β SUPER GUARANTEE β Increased to 12% from 1 July 2025. Are you receiving the right amount?
