Back Tax

The Australian Tax Office (ATO) often makes calculations on tax liabilities and eligibility for certain offsets and rebates based on the combined income of couples. Centrelink also assesses certain payments and subsidies based on household earnings. As a result, tax matters can get complicated if you are with a partner who uses economic abuse. If you can't afford an accountant or tax agent, you can seek assistance from one of the free tax clinics listed below.
