Hi @Pradeepn556
If you have not claimed the exemption in the past, you can lodge an Amendment.
Please be aware that amendments for Individuals and sole traders generally have 2 years to submit an amendment for your tax return. This time starts from the day after your notice of assessment is sent to you.
