Tax Help is a service to assist people on low
incomes complete their tax returns. It is delivered
through a network of community volunteers who provide a
free and confidential service to help
people complete their tax returns at tax time. We have hosted a Tax Help volunteer since
2003, however due to organisational changes, we were not
able to this year. Volunteers are people from within the community who
give up their time each year. They are not Tax Office staff,
but they receive training and support from the Tax Office.
Tax Help is for people on low incomes including, but not
restricted to, those who are also seniors, students,
people from non-English speaking backgrounds, people
with a disability, Aboriginal people or Torres Strait
Islander people. Since tax can be complex, volunteers
are only able to help with fairly straightforward tax
returns. To be eligible for Tax Help you must earn less
than $35,000 pa (single) or less than $35,000 pa plus
$2500 per child for families or single parents.
Please call the Tax Office on 13 28 61 for further
information.
