Betting tax reassessments

When you lodge a betting tax return in QRO Online, your liability is calculated automatically. If the return contains any errors, you can request a reassessment.

If you find an error in a monthly, annual or final return, contact us to request a betting tax reassessment. Include your client number and revised details.

If a reassessment decreases your betting tax liability and you have overpaid, we will apply the overpayment to any outstanding liabilities you have, then refund any remaining amount to you.

If you have shown the correct amount in your lodged return but have accidentally overpaid, contact us to request the refund of the overpayment. Make sure to include:

• your client number and details
• the reason for the overpayment
• the return period in which you overpaid betting tax.

If you have no outstanding liabilities and a refund is due, we may:

• transfer funds to your nominated bank account (see how to set up bank details)
• hold the amount for any liability that might arise within 60 days.

You have up to 5 years from the date of the overpayment to request a reassessment.
