Hey @elbow,
If the carers payment is the only income, you've received and you've had no tax withheld then you may not need to lodge a tax return, but you may still need to advise us of this.
A carers payment is a taxable payment. If you've received other income, you're going to need to declare the carers payment on your tax return.
We'd suggest using the do I need to lodge tool that's available on our website it will help you to determine whether your required to lodge or not.
