Received your Notice of Assessment, but not sure what it all means?
Once the ATO processes your Tax Return, it sends you a Notice of Assessment, also known as an NOA.
Your NOA explains how the ATO calculated your final tax result. It includes important figures such as:
• Your taxable income
• The tax calculated on your income
• Tax offsets and credits
• The Medicare levy or Medicare levy surcharge, if applicable
• Tax you’ve already paid
• Your final refund or amount owing
The most important part is the outcome:
CR means you have a credit. This will usually be refunded, although some or all of it may be used to pay other government debts.
DR means you have an amount to pay.
Swipe through as we explain each section in plain English and show you where your final result came from.

Could you be paying the Medicare levy when you don’t need to?
If you weren’t entitled to Medicare for all or part of the financial year, you may be able to claim a Medicare levy exemption in your Tax Return.
This may apply to some temporary visa holders and others who weren’t entitled to Medicare during that period.
You may need a Medicare Entitlement Statement (MES) from Services Australia before lodging. This confirms the dates you weren’t eligible for Medicare.
The Medicare levy is generally 2% of your taxable income, so claiming the correct exemption period could make a difference to your final tax result.
Before you lodge:
✔ Check whether you were eligible for Medicare during the year
✔ Apply for an MES if required
✔ Claim the correct exemption period in your Tax Return
Not everyone qualifies, so always check your individual circumstances.

Waiting for your tax refund? It may take a little longer than you might expect.
Most online Tax Returns take around 2–4 weeks for the ATO to process. Some may take longer if additional checks or manual processing are required.
Once your Tax Return is with the ATO, the processing time is outside the control of your tax agent or Tax Return provider.
That’s why One Click Life offers optional Next Day Refund for eligible customers who want to access part of their estimated refund sooner.
If approved, you can access up to 50% of your estimated refund, capped at $1,000, the next business day while the ATO continues processing your return.
Next Day Refund is available at checkout for eligible current-year Tax Returns only. Prior-year returns are not eligible.
(Eligibility requirements and T&Cs apply.)
