Why individuals need to stay organised too

It’s not just business owners who need to be aware of important tax deadlines — individual taxpayers also have regular obligations that can impact their financial situation if not properly managed. While many tax deadlines for individuals fall annually, there are certain situations where monthly or regular deadlines apply — and missing these can result in penalties, interest charges, or disruption to important payments.

Some individuals may need to meet monthly deadlines for obligations such as PAYG instalments, Child Support payments, HELP/HECS repayments linked to salary, or managing Centrelink reporting requirements. In some cases, investors, contractors, or those with other sources of income outside regular wages may also have monthly payment or reporting obligations with the ATO.

Understanding what applies to you — and staying on top of these deadlines — helps you avoid unnecessary stress, financial penalties, or disruption to government payments. This fact sheet outlines the key monthly deadlines non-business clients should be aware of, and highlights the importance of staying organised with your financial commitments.
