If you think you’re due a refund this tax time, why not lodge online this year using e-tax, the Australian Tax Office’s free, fast and secure system.

You can use e-tax in just five easy steps and, if you’re due a refund, you should get it within 12 business days after lodging.

 

You will also save time as e-tax puts in some of the information the ATO has about you, directly into your tax return.

 

Five steps 

1. Download

2.Verify

3.Complete

4. Check

5. Lodge

 

And, if your Mum and Dad are still lodging by paper, now’s your chance to do it differently.

 

Maybe you could convert them too!

 

E-tax is available from ato.gov.au from 1st July and you must lodge by October 31st.

 

To find out more, why not watch the short ‘E-tax in five easy steps’ YouTube clip.

 

To download ­e-tax, go to ato.gov.au/etax

 

Because tax shouldn’t be taxing!

  • We used to use etax. But find it simpler and more trustworthy going to an accountant now. Takes all the worry out if getting it right

  • Like anything you haven’t done before, it might be a little confusing or even scary the first time, but once you’ve mastered it, you’ll never go back to the old way of doing your tax. Anything that makes life a bit easier has to be good.

  • I love e-tax because I’m lazy, the pre filling option saves time and I can click right through ours in no time.

    Can I just add a warning if you’ve never done this before please don’t google e-tax you might just end up in a place that isn’t the e-tax for the ATO, access the ATO website and get e-tax through them.
