Hi @Garry16,
This can be due to a number or reasons.
If you were receiving Centrelink and then got back paid for workers compensation. It may have put you into a higher tax bracket.
We have a great page that refers to why you may have a tax bill you may find helpful.
Obviously didnt read post correctly,
Because of Work Cover mistake, one that they owned up to, I have a huge tax bill
Hey @Garry16!
It sounds like, (and please, if I’m way off course, let me know) the tax bill may have risen from the combination of receiving Centrelink benefit for 6 months, and then receiving the back pay from Workcover for the same financial year, and not having paid the amount of tax required. Not paying the right amount of tax for the income and year, will see you issued with a tax debt.
When you say you received Centrelink that was paid out of your return, what do you mean?
