This is very strange. I have just received a NOA 2023 before I submitted my tax return. I haven't applied for a automatic refund of franking credit scheme. So I am not sure what has happened here. I can't open up my tax return lodgement either as it says "lodgement up to date"

So, during tax time 2023, to make it easier to receive your refund. We will automatically refund franking credits to eligible individuals and issue them a notice of assessment.
