Tax Help

Thanks to the support of our Tax Help volunteers, Highlands Community Centres Inc. are pleased to be able to confirm that we will be offering Tax Help again in 2021!

If you need help lodging your tax return, refund of franking credits with myTax, an amendment or your non-lodgement advice, the ATO has a group of volunteers who can help you. Tax Help is available at Stafford Cottage from July to October to low income earners (around $60,000 or less) with simple tax affairs.

Community volunteers use myTax which prefills your return, giving you confidence you have included all income received. They will also help you claim any deductions and offsets you are entitled to. To find out more contact Highlands Community Centres on 4862 1122 to confirm your eligibility and to make an appointment.
