Do Your Tax Return Online. We’ll Check It Before It’s Lodged.

You can start your 2026 tax return with GoTax from around 22/06/26. ATO processing starts from 01/07/26, and some prefill information may still arrive after that date. Starting early is fine, but finalising too early can mean missing income or other details.

GoTax individual tax returns start from $35, with occupation-based individual returns ranging from $35 to $65. Rental property, ABN, contractor, freelancer, rideshare and small business returns have different prices because there is more work involved. Your price is shown clearly before you proceed.

Yes. Your first tax return is free if you are under 21 and have never lodged a tax return before, including directly with the ATO. No tricks, no hidden fee, and no accountant appearing later with an invoice and a sad face.

A straightforward GoTax return can often be completed in around 5 to 15 minutes. Returns with ABN income, rental properties, investments or more complex tax deductions take longer because there is more information to enter and check.

You may be able to claim expenses you paid that directly relate to earning your income, such as tools, uniforms, work equipment, working-from-home costs, vehicle expenses, professional fees and training. The exact tax deductions depend on your occupation and circumstances. GoTax guides you through the relevant areas so you do not have to memorise tax law for sport.

You should keep your receipts and records, but GoTax does not routinely need to see them and does not store them for you. From time to time, we may ask to see a receipt where a tax deduction is uncertain or needs clarification.

Most refunds take around 6 to 10 working days after lodgment, but the timing is controlled entirely by the ATO. Delays can occur if information needs checking, debts are offset, or the ATO selects the return for further review.

Yes. You can complete your GoTax return online from overseas as long as you have internet access and the information needed for your return. Australian tax rules and deadlines still apply, but your physical location does not stop you from using GoTax.

Yes. GoTax uses encrypted systems, secure Australian hosting and controlled access to protect your personal and tax information. Your return is also checked by registered tax agents before lodgment.

Tell GoTax as soon as you notice it. If your return has not yet been lodged, the information can usually be corrected first. If it has already been lodged, an amendment may be required. The important part is not pretending the mistake will become less wrong if ignored.
