TAX OFFICE PROCESSING
Be aware of the ATO processing times to avoid disappointment.
At this stage the ATO will not go live until the week beginning 20th June. The Taxation Office online service is currently down undergoing maintenance for the pending 2022 Tax Year.
Until that date you cannot start your 2022 tax return.
The ATO have also indicated that they will not start to process tax refunds until the second week of July. You can still do your tax return from around the week beginning the 20th June, but it might pay you to wait until.........
The information that prefills your return is subject to your employers sending their information to the ATO, the Banks and financial institutions sending their information through and any other reportable organisation, including Centrelink which historically drags its heals.
So patience is the key.
The dominos need to fall for everything to be in place for you to do your Income Tax Return efficiently. And those factors are outside our control.
Thanks and keep smiling
