Due dates are shown above for company returns only
if any refunds are due
ATO refunds are paid to the bank account nominated in the return by electronic funds transfer, normally within 14 days of lodgement.
If there are individuals with tax payable
For individuals in the table above with tax payable, the ATO will issue an assessment notice confirming the amount payable and due date for payment.
if tax is payable by a company
Companies are required to self-assess their income tax liability to the ATO and do not receive an assessment notice, so we have shown the due date for payment in the table above and attached a payment slip showing the various methods of payment available. You should use the information in that payment slip to identify your payment.
if tax is payable by anyone
A General Interest Charge (GIC) will be applied if you do not pay any tax owing by the due date. From 1 July 2025, GIC is no longer tax deductible.
