I haven't done my tax yet? Will I get fined?

The deadline IS 31 October unless you are lodging through a tax agent, who has an extended lodgement program, however it is unlikely you will cop a penalty.

The ATO has said that if you lodge voluntarily and are not payable, they will not issue a penalty.

Generally the only people who get a penalty are serial offenders or have not complied with a request to lodge.

But if you are worried you can always either ring the ATO and ask for an extension or get a tax agent to put you on their list.

Thanks for your replies. I am set for a return but just havent got to it. Fingers crossed all will be good.

I was just plain lazy the year before last, and didn't get around to it until June! Then I realised that if I left it another month, I'd have 2 sets of tax needing to be done, and I finally got myself in gear and did it. I didn't get any warning letters or anything.
