Every Australian worker will today get a boost to their superannuation while a pay rise for those on the minimum wage kicks in. July 1 marks the start of the new financial year and the start of 2021-22 also means an increase in bills, from toll roads to electricity. Today is also the first day Australians can lodge their tax returns with 10 million people earning up to $126,000 eligible for between $255 and $1,080 in tax cuts. With more than 12 million Australians in lockdown, those working from home can use the time not spent travelling to the office to sort out some annoying life admin, as the cold weather and Covid restrictions limit leisure opportunities.
