The tax year is from 1 April to 31 March. We’re busy working out if you’ve paid the right amount of tax, if you have tax to pay, or if you're due a refund. We’ve started sending income tax assessments out and will continue into June.
We'll also let you know if we need more information, so you don’t need to contact us before you receive your assessment.
Tax bills
Common reasons you might receive a tax bill include:
- Being on an incorrect tax code
- Having multiple incomes and not using the secondary tax code correctly
- Using the wrong PIR rate for investments
- Earning other income while receiving paid parental leave payments
You can find out more about tax bills and ways to avoid them.
Receive Working for Families payments?
If you receive Working for Families payments, we send most assessments out by 7 June, however, if we need more information it may take until 31 July. Again, there’s no need to contact us before then.
Avoid delays - log in to myIR and check your details
Sometimes we need more information from you to work out your assessment, particularly if you get payments for Working for Families. You can avoid delays by checking your details are up to date in myIR.
