Thought I might post this in connection with an AMA I have. Feel free to move it to the forums but personally I think it's a bargain!
ATO offers a free service to help individuals with their tax returns under certain circumstances:
You are eligible for Tax Help in 2015-16 if your income is around $50,000 or less for the income year and you did not:
work as a contractor, for example a contract cleaner or taxi driver
run a business, including as a sole trader
have partnership or trust matters
sell shares or an investment property
own a rental property
have capital gains tax (CGT)
receive royalties
receive distributions from a trust, other than a managed fund
receive foreign income, other than a foreign pension or annuity.
If you are eligble for this service that means your tax return is likely so basic that you may as well just do it yourself. Doing a basic tax return is very simple these days with etax. Enter tax file number, enter some numbers off your payslip, enter your health insurance information, press submit.
