Tax return
A tax return covers the income year from 1 July to 30 June. When you lodge a tax return you include how much money you earn (income) and any expenses you can claim as a deduction.
It is YOUR responsibility to file your tax return. If you earn money in Australia, you must have a tax file number (TFN) and pay taxes on it. The amount of tax you must pay for a given year is calculated using your annual tax return.
Your income tax is paid by your employer throughout the fiscal year, which runs from July 1 to June 30. If you are self-employed, you may be required to make income tax payments on account throughout the year.
You must file a tax return at the end of each financial year.
Genuine savings is a term used by the lending industry when defining whether the funds to be used as a deposit by a proposed borrower (for a property purchase) have been genuinely saved over time. Most of the lenders may ask for a minimum 3 months of bank statements to see how you have saved the funds over time.
