When will I get an invoice?

After you file a tax return you'll receive an invoice from us. We start sending most of our invoices out from July. If you're self-employed this will be based on your income from the year before. 

Saving tip: Try putting money aside every month so you'll have enough to cover your levies when your invoice arrives.
