Default Tax on Savings

Hello all.
Does anyone know how much i will be taxed on my savings in Australia? As we had our house money in an e account for a few months before buying we gained around 9000 in interest. What will the rate be on that? We are also working, is interest on savings taxed at the same amount as earnings?

Thankyou.

Interest on savings is taxed like any other income - http://www.ato.gov.au

did you give your bank your tax file number....if you DIDN"T then they will have been taking Withholding Tax off your interest at source....therefore you would be due money back

Thankyou.
What ever interest you earn is added to your income and taxed within the relevant bracket.
