Free Tax Help

Need free help with your tax return?

Taxes are a yearly thing that you need to stay on top of.

USASA and the Tax Help team have you covered! USASA offers students free help with their tax return, with appointments open from July until October 2021.

The free Tax Help service is closed for 2020.

Please check your eligibility prior to booking as contractors, those using ABN’s, people in business and with other complex tax affairs (check full eligibility criteria) cannot be assisted through Tax Help. Limited spots will be available, so get in quick!


Regular appointments will be available at both UniSA CBD campuses from late July through to the end of October. Appointments are located at both UniSA City campuses - City West and City East. 
 

Note: This service is free to all students, including international students. Any student who is studying a course of 6 month duration or more is considered a resident for tax purposes. Full info here
