How long does it take to get the refund?

Published: Feb 19, 2021

If you lodge your tax return online, the ATO typically processes it within about two weeks. Paper returns generally take considerably longer, with the ATO’s standard timeframe currently up to 50 business days. Delays can occur if your income details haven’t yet been finalised by your employer or if anything needs manual review.
