How to MAXIMISE Your 2026 Tax Return (Get 32% to 47% Back)

Want help making sure you're claiming everything you're entitled to this year? 👉 https://bristax.com.au/contact/ Every year, Australians overpay tax by billions of dollars, often because no one has ever told them all the costs they're actually allowed to claim. In this video, I'll take you through the tax deduction sections on your personal 2026 tax return, including the car expense method that can claim almost three times more than the one most people default to, and the super contribution that's the single most effective tax deduction available. I'll also flag the claims the ATO is now data-matching, so you can get your full tax refund without inviting an audit.
