  • Study/training/courses/memberships

From August onwards we can usually access the following information directly from the ATO, so you don’t normally need to supply it:

Managed Fund/Trust annual tax statements are sometimes not available until September or later. If you own units in a Managed Fund/Trust, please wait until you receive the annual tax statement before contacting us to do your tax return.
