A deceased estate is eligible to use the $18,200 tax free offset for up to 3 years. If the interest is less than this then there is no tax payable (and no requirement to lodge a tax return) See below. https://www.ato.gov.au/individuals-and-families/deceased-estates/doing-trust-tax-returns-for-the-deceased-estate/tax-rates-deceased-estate
