Tax tips
THIS tax time, KLAS wants to share the latest pointers from the Australian Tax Office, so you get caught out with what has changed this year. There are some changes that may affect you, in particular:
The mature-aged worker tax offset has been removed, which means it cannot be claimed on your 2015 tax return.
You will be only eligible to claim the net medical expenses tax offset if you received it in your 2013/’14 tax assessment. However, if you have out-of-pocket medical expenses related to disability aids, attendant care or aged care, you are still able to claim them.
You can no longer claim the dependent spouse tax offset. If you have claimed the dependent spouse tax offset through a withholding arrangement with your employer, this may result in you having a tax debt this year. You will need to ensure you submit an updated TFN declaration (or withholding declaration) to your employer for 2015-’16 to increase your withholdings.
If you’re planning to complete your own return, make sure to lodge before the 31 October deadline to avoid penalties.
