Now we have got two types of income
One is Taxable and the other one is Non-Taxable
so non-taxable that has to be included in the tax return and you will be paying tax on that so that income will be considered as part of your income.
What kind of income is taxable?
Income from salary, from business, from rental, from interest. If you have a bank interest, online saver or any term deposit, single or in joint name that income is taxable then you have capital gain, capital gain from sale of shares, capital gain from sale of property. These are all taxable income then you have dividend. If company has paid you some dividend, franked or unfrank, both are taxable.
Foreign income: Foreign income is if you have received rent pension, bank interest from your overseas source even that is taxable. Even centrelink income is taxable but only some types of centrelink income
which is youth allowance, new start allowance, single parenting payment, parenting payment, partner payment, pension payment. These payments are taxable.
On the other hand we have non taxable income which means you receive that income in last financial year but you do not have to pay tax on that what kind of income is that:
Centrelink income: Some type of Centrelink income which is family tax benefit which is energy supplement which is rent assistance. You receive money from centrelink every fortnight or every monthly from them but you do not have to declare in your tax return and you do not pay any tax on that. That is non taxable income.
The other non-taxable income is from your hobby if you are doing some hobby and you receive some small amount that is non-taxable and also child support in case you are separated and you are taking care of a child your child and your partner is paying you child support that income is also not taxable although you are receiving it every week or every fortnight or every month but that is non-taxable.
