Most people do need to lodge a tax return each year. However, in some circumstances where you have minimal taxable income and your potential tax offsets result in you not paying tax, you may not be required to lodge a return. For Centrelink purposes, the amounts of taxable income you receive are still required as part of your claim for the Commonwealth Seniors Health Card even if these are minimal and you are not currently lodging a tax return each year.HiddenCouple (>$89,000): Deemed incomeHiddenCouple (<=$89,000): Deemed incomeHiddenCouple (>$89,000): Deemed income plus the additional taxable incomeHiddenCouple (<=$89,000): Deemed income plus the additional taxable incomeYes, you are eligible as your income is below the current limits.
