Comprehensive tax calculator 2006—working out your tax refund or tax debt

Takes 15 to 25 minutes to complete

How this calculator works

This tool will calculate the tax payable on a given taxable income for the income year 1 July 2005 to 30 June 2006. It can also calculate:

  • Medicare levy
  • Medicare levy surcharge
  • Higher Education Loan Programme (HELP-HECS) repayment
  • Student Financial Supplement Scheme (SFSS) repayment, and
  • any tax offsets that may apply.

It will take these, along with other tax credits, into account in calculating the tax refund or debt.

  • Your taxable income for the 2006 income year (1 July 2005 to 30 June 2006).
  • Your residency status for taxation purposes.
  • Details of your tax credits and any tax offsets you are entitled to claim.

You may need additional information, depending on your circumstances and what you choose to calculate.
