Conducted by an Australian Tax Office trained and accredited community volunteer, Tax Help is a free and confidential service to help people complete their tax returns.

From July to October each year, our accredited volunteer can help people lodge their tax returns online. Our volunteers can also help you to:

  • create a myGov account
  • lodge an amendment to your tax return
  • claim a refund of franking credits
  • tell us if you don’t need to lodge a tax return.

You are eligible for Tax Help if your income is around $60,000 or less, have simple tax affairs for the income year and you did not:

  • work as a contractor – for example, a contract cleaner, taxi or uber 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, that is not a foreign pension or annuity.

Appointments are essential, please call (03) 5472 4842 to book.

When: Thursdays (25 July – 31 October 2024)
Time: By appointment
Where: Castlemaine Community House, 30 Templeton Street.
