Do Australian pensioners need to lodge a tax return?
If you are aged 60 years and above and have a taxable income, whether it is from investments or employment, you will need to lodge a tax return by 30th June each year. If you are not required to lodge a tax return but your Australian Taxation Office withholds taxes from your pension payments, file non-lodgement advice.
How do I retrieve my tax file number?
If you can't find your tax file number, we suggest:
- Looking on your income tax notice of assessment or other letters from us.
- Looking on a payment summary (provided by your employer) or your super statement.
- If you have a myGov account linked to the ATO, you can access your TFN online.
- Ask your tax agent (if you use one)
How do I get my PAYG summary?
You will receive either an income statement in ATO online services via myGov or a payment summary from your employer depending on how your employer reports.
