If you were paid in that time, yep.
If you have new tax-deductable expenses in that time remember to include them either way.
Thought so. Only issue is that I'm being paid monthly and I should be paid today. So do I just calculate the pay from June 12th - June 30th?
Sorry for all the questions, I've only ever had to do this for when I worked the con and that was pretty easy.
The tax is based on when you were actually paid, not the year the work was done in. So if you didn't get paid before the end of the financial year you don't need to worry about it.
Ahh okay. Yeah I didn't get paid until today so that helps, thank you!
If you were paid this financial year then you will claim that next year, if you log in to mygov at the end of July your payment statements should be there
Are you on a wage (employee), or a rolling contract (consultant)? If you're on a wage, then yes, you need to treat those days as being last financial year. If you're on a rolling contract, you treat the entire month as being in the financial year when the invoice is issued.
