Tax Return Outcome Reconciler Australia
Compare your estimate with the notice of assessment line by line and identify the largest reasons your refund or amount owing changed.
Diagnostic only — the tax lines below determine the outcome.
Copy figures from your estimate and notice of assessment. Do not include the same debt offset in another line.
Largest differences
The entered assessment lines match the estimate.
Taxable income is a diagnostic clue and is not added to the dollar variance. Confirm the final figures in the ATO notice of assessment and account transaction history.
What this estimate includes
- Uses the figures you enter from the estimate and notice of assessment.
