Things to know
It's important you provide your correct financial institution details as we'll pay any tax refund into this account.
We'll only pay tax refunds into recognised financial institution accounts located in Australia.
We accept financial institution account details held by:
- you, either solely or jointly – for example, Alan White, White’s Widgets, or Alan & Mary White
- your registered tax agent
- your legal practitioner acting as trustee or executor for you.
You can't choose to have your refund sent to your spouse’s account.
