Provisional Tax due 28 August

The first instalment for Provisional tax is due August 28th.

Provisional tax is a way to spread your income tax payments across the current year rather than paying a lump sum later.

You must pay it if your residual income tax (RIT) from your previous tax return is more than $5,000. It usually applies to self-employed people, contractors, and rental property owners.

If you have a standard 31 March balance date, you pay in three instalments:

  • First instalment: 28 August

  • Second instalment: 15 January

  • Third instalment: 7 May (Note: Dates differ if you file GST on a six-monthly or ratio basis).
