Why Do I Suddenly Owe Tax This Year? 🤔

You’ve been paying tax from every payslip… so why do you still have a tax bill? 😩

There are a few reasons this can happen, including:
• Having more than one job
• Changes in your income
• HELP/HECS repayments
• Additional income
• Not having enough tax withheld throughout the year

It doesn’t necessarily mean something has gone wrong. Your tax return looks at your overall tax position for the financial year to work out whether you’ve paid the right amount of tax.

💡 Not sure why you owe tax? We can help you understand what’s contributing to your tax bill, make sure you’re claiming the deductions you’re entitled to, and lodge your return correctly.

Fuel Tax Credit rates changed from 3 August 2026.

If your business is eligible to claim Fuel Tax Credits, the new rates could affect how much you can claim on your next BAS.

📌 For eligible diesel and petrol acquired from 3 August, some of the new rates include:

🚜 All other eligible business uses: 53.7¢ per litre

🚛 Heavy vehicles over 4.5 tonnes travelling on public roads: 21.3¢ per litre

⚠️ Why does the date matter?

Because the rates changed on 3 August, your next BAS may include fuel purchased both before and after the rate change.

This means different Fuel Tax Credit rates may need to be applied depending on when the fuel was acquired. So, it’s important to make sure the correct rate is used when calculating your claim.

Not sure what the new Fuel Tax Credit rates mean for your business?
