Tax Returns for Corporals, let's get it done

Doing your tax return can seem overwhelming, but it's actually pretty straightforward once you know what you need to do. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you complete your tax return successfully:

1. Gather all your income information: This includes your payment summary from your employer, which shows how much you earned and how much tax was withheld from your pay. If you have any other income, such as interest from a bank account or dividends from shares, make sure to gather that information as well.

2. Work out your deductions: You may be able to claim deductions for certain expenses that are directly related to earning your income. For example, if you use your car for work purposes or have to buy uniforms or protective clothing, you may be able to claim a deduction for those expenses. Make sure to gather all your receipts and records so you can work out how much you can claim.

3. Fill out your tax return: You can lodge your tax return online using the Gotax Online Service. It's a simple and secure way to do your tax return, and they pre-fill some of your information for you to make things even easier. Just follow the prompts and enter all your income and deduction information.

4. Review and submit: Before you submit your tax return, Gotax will make sure to review the return and all the information carefully to make sure it's accurate. Once you're happy with everything, go ahead and finalise your tax return.

5. Wait for your notice of assessment: After you submit your tax return, the Australian Taxation Office will review it and send you a notice of assessment. This will tell you how much tax you need to pay or how much you'll get back as a refund.

I hope this helps make doing your tax return a little easier! If you have any questions or need more help, don't hesitate to ask.
