People who work in Australia are normally paid wages or salary. They are paid monthly, weekly or even fortnightly. The payment is directly made to the employee’s bank account. The government of Australia deducts tax dues from every single person who is paid either salary or wages for the work that they do. The normal procedure is that the employer deducts the tax amount and then pays it to the government. The tax return forms are sent to every household at the end of June each year.
