I started a salary role a few months ago and ticked that I would claim the tax free threshold as the other work I had been doing up until that point in time was contracting. I have no just started a second part time salary position and would like to claim the tax free threshold with this employee as I will be paid more. I logged into ATO online to make this change but realised that both of my recent employers are not listed under employment. I also saw that it states I am claiming the tax free threshold for a casual job I haven't worked in for over a year. My question is do I need to do something to ensure that I am not still claiming the tax free threshold at my old casual job as I haven't worked there for a while? I thought this would happen automatically? I am worried that maybe I'm not actually claiming the tax free threshold at my recent salary position even though I ticked yes. Is this an issue or is it likely that the information on ATO online is just out of date?

Thanks

Hi @mats321,


Out of date.


I recently saw my own showing that my most recent employer is someone I worked for in 2022 and I've had 2 x other employers since then, including my now current one, neither which are showing in that section.


To change your Tax-free threshold with an employer, you'd just need to lodged a new TFN declaration with the one you don't want to claim the threshold with anymore.


You can do this in ATO online and after submitting there'll be an option to send a copy to your employer, so they then know to tax you the right way from then on. 😎
