Tax
The Australian Taxation Office (ATO) is Australia’s main revenue collection body. It collects taxes on behalf of the federal government.
The ATO also supports families and couples through a range of tax benefits, including offsets (formerly rebates), credits, and refunds. These may reduce the tax you pay.
Benefits include the:
- dependent spouse offset
- dependent relative
- spouse super contribution tax offset
- first home saver account
- private health insurance offset.
For advice on how taxes may affect your family and any benefits you receive, contact the:
- Australian Taxation Office on 13 28 61
- Department of Human Services and choose a number that matches your inquiry.
