You will need to lodge a return, between July 1st and Oct 30th 2005, and you will probably be due a refund, if you are entitled to the threshold allowances.

As an individual, you must lodge an income tax return if:

* you paid tax during the year
* you are eligible for the Senior Australians tax offset or the pensioner tax offset and you have taxable income more than the relevant income threshold
* you received a Commonwealth of Australia government allowance or payment and you have taxable income more than the relevant income threshold
* your taxable income exceeded certain amounts, or
certain other conditions apply to you.
