Tax Help

The ATO’s community-based Tax Help program is a free and confidential service open to people earning about $60,000 or less each year. From mid-July to October, ATO-trained volunteers can help you lodge your return, claim a refund of franking credits, submit a non-lodgment advice or lodge an amendment. Tax Help volunteers are available in person at tax centres across Australia, online and by phone, so you can get help even if you live in a rural or remote location. For more information about the Tax Help program, visit ato.gov.au/taxhelp or call 13 28 61.
