EOFY is a key time for tax admin, and unfortunately, it’s also a time when scammers become more active.

Be cautious of emails, text messages or phone calls claiming to be from the ATO, especially if they say you’re owed a refund or need to pay a tax debt urgently.

Warning signs include pressure tactics, threats, suspicious links, or requests to pay by gift cards, cryptocurrency or direct bank transfer. The ATO will never ask for payment in these ways.

Stay alert this EOFY; stop, check it’s real, and don’t share personal details or make payments unless you’re sure.

July 2026 Tax Alert: Essential Changes and Implications for Taxpayers

June delivered a mixed picture for the Australian economy as the new financial year begins. Headline inflation eased, but underlying inflationary measures rose to their highest level in almost two years, reinforcing expectations that interest rates may remain higher for longer.

Domestic data highlighted ongoing structural pressures. Building approvals remained subdued, signalling persistent constraints on housing supply despite strong demand. Consumer confidence weakened, falling 2.9% to 80.6, returning to pessimistic levels after a brief improvement in May.

Australian share markets were volatile, with the ASX 200 moving within a narrow range as investors responded to shifting rate expectations and global uncertainty.

Globally, shares delivered strong gains; however, risks remain elevated. In the United States, concerns about policy direction and financial stability unsettled markets, while geopolitical tensions including the on-again, off-again ceasefire in the Gulf continued to cause inflationary and supply risks.
