Getting the tax bonus to you

Tax Commissioner Michael D’Ascenzo today announced that work is underway to ensure the Tax Office can start paying the Australian Government’s tax bonus from early April 2009.

“At this stage we believe most eligible people won’t have to do anything to receive the proposed payment,” Mr D’Ascenzo said.

“By using information in people’s 2007-08 tax return we will work out who is eligible and the best way to get the payment to them.

“Most people have already lodged their 2007-08 return with us, but if you haven’t, don’t leave it any longer.”

The proposed tax bonus will only be paid to those who have their 2007-08 return in by 30 June 2009.

“Our e-tax service will remain available for those who want to do their own return online, or people should contact their tax agent.

“We will send the payment to the address or bank account people nominated as their preference for the 2007-08 tax return.

“You will get your payment faster if we have your bank account details,” Mr D’Ascenzo said.

To ensure money goes into the right bank account or the cheque is delivered to the correct address in early April 2009, people should contact the Tax Office by the middle of March if they need to change address or bank details.

“If you have not provided bank details in your return, you may provide them now so that we can pay the bonus directly to your bank account.

“If we don’t have your bank details, we will send a cheque to your latest postal address,” Mr D’Ascenzo said.
