How much is the Seniors and Pensioners Tax Offset (SAPTO).
If you’re a Senior Australian, you may be eligible for the seniors and pensioners tax offset (SAPTO).
The SAPTO can reduce the amount of tax you are liable to pay. In some cases, it may reduce your tax liability to zero and you may not have to lodge a tax return.
To be eligible for this tax offset, you have to meet certain conditions relating to your income and eligibility for an Australian Government pension or allowance.
