Rates Changelog
Every set of rates this site publishes, the period it applies to, the authority it came from, and the date we last read that authority. Australian rates move on set dates — 1 July for tax and super, 20 March and 20 September for Centrelink, 1 January for student payments — and this page records which of those we are on.

Read a row as: this is the filing we have checked, on the date in the last column. If a rate has moved since then, the page it links to still carries the older figure until we re-read the source — which is why the checked date matters as much as the number.
When Australian rates actually change
- 1 July — income tax, super caps and the super guarantee rate, Family Tax Benefit, and most state taxes and charges.
- 20 March and 20 September — Centrelink pensions and allowances, Rent Assistance, the pension supplement.
- 1 January — Youth Allowance, Austudy and ABSTUDY.
- 1 June — HELP/HECS indexation is applied to the balance.
- State land tax — assessed on the value at a date each state sets, so a land tax year does not always start on 1 July.
Two consequences worth remembering: a rate quoted without its period is meaningless, and a page that has not re-read its source since the last movement date is one to check yourself.
Frequently asked questions
How often do you re-check?
On every movement date above, and again whenever we add or change a page. The date in the table is the date of the last read, not the date the rate changed.
What if a rate moves and this page has not caught up?
Then the checked date will show it. Nothing here is presented as live: every page names its authority and the date we read it, so you can always tell how current a figure is.
Why do some rows say "current rates" instead of a year?
Because that is how the authority publishes it. Some revenue offices label a table by the financial year it applies to, others only say "current rates" — we copy their label rather than invent one.
Do you publish anything you have not verified?
No, and the gaps are listed rather than filled: see how we check the numbers.
