Working holiday workers are taxed higher so i cannot claim my entire tax return (income less than 18,000). I can only claim so little.

Hi @Tamsations2023,


If your employer wasn't withholding the correct amount of tax for you for the 2022/23 financial year then there isn't a way for this to be fixed besides lodging your tax return. This can result in you owing us money if they've under withheld.


To stop this from happening again, you can provide a withholding declaration to your employer to let them know that you aren't a working holiday maker.
