How to read your myGov income statement

For a quick estimate, you usually need two numbers: how much you earned, and how much tax was already taken out.

Total income

This is your pay before tax. If you had more than one job, add the totals together.

Tax already taken out

This is the tax your employer already sent to the ATO for you. It is sometimes shown as tax withheld.

Work expenses

These are costs you paid yourself to do your job. Keep receipts or notes showing how you worked out the work part.
