Your notice of assessment (NOA) is a document you receive from the Tax Office when your tax return has been assessed.
It is an itemised account of the amount of tax that you owe on your taxable income, taking into account any tax offsets you are entitled to. It also contains other information, such as the amount of credit you have for tax you paid throughout the year.
Your notice of assessment is an important document so keep it safe. You may also need to refer to it when you contact us, or if you use e-tax to lodge your tax return in the future.
If you cannot find your notice of assessment from 2004 to 2008, you may still be able to lodge your tax return using e-tax by providing us with some specific information when verifying your identity. To find out more about what specific information can be used to verify your identity, go back to the previous page and read the information contained under the heading 'Eligibility requirements'.
If you are unable to use the specific information to verify your identity, you can phone us on 13 28 61 between 8.00am and 6.00pm (local time) and ask for a copy.
When you phone us, you will be asked to prove your identity by providing your tax file number (TFN) or your full name as well as some other personal details.
When we have confirmed your identity, you may request the following information from your most recent notice of assessment (issued before 30 May 2009):
your TFN (if you cannot locate it)
your full name (exactly as it appears on your notice of assessment)
the date of issue, and
the sequence number.
Alternatively, you can:
ask us to post you a copy of the notice of assessment – phone 13 28 61
visit one of our shopfronts and obtain a copy in person.
