We use income tests to work out whether you:
- can claim certain tax offsets
- can receive some government benefits or concessions
- must pay Medicare levy surcharge or have a HELP or SFSS repayment liability
- must pay tax.
We use the information in this section to:
- apply the income tests and accurately assess the amount of tax you are liable to pay
- determine your entitlement to certain tax offsets, deductions and concessions.
We may also pass this information to other government agencies such as Centrelink which will use the information to ensure you are receiving your full entitlement to government benefits.
