Hello,
I recently received a "Final Warning" letter from the ATO stating that I have overdue tax returns and that I should "lodge now".
I am a German citizen and lived in Australia from 15 August 2023 until 30 June 2024. During that time, I volunteered full-time at The Summit under a volunteer agreement.
I was not a regular employee. I received pocket money and was provided with accommodation and meals by the organization.
At the end of my stay, my organization assisted me with a tax refund of approximately AUD 700, and I believed that all of my tax obligations had been completed.
I am now living in Germany and this is the first letter regarding an outstanding tax return that I have received.
I would like to know:
– Which tax return or document is considered outstanding?
– Do I need to lodge a tax return or a non-lodgment advice?
– How can I resolve this matter while living overseas?
Thank you for your assistance.
