Tracking your music teaching income for tax in Australia
Australian music teachers report income on a financial year that runs 1 July to 30 June, so a calendar-based tally never quite lines up. Note & Key totals your lesson income on the correct Australian financial year, so the number you need at tax time is ready. (It's a record-keeping tool, not tax advice — check specifics with your accountant or the ATO.)

Common questions
How do self-employed music teachers track income for tax in Australia?
Capture it across the right financial year as you teach. Note & Key records each payment against an invoice and totals your teaching income on Australia's 1 July–30 June financial year, then exports a summary — so your year-end figure is ready when you lodge with the ATO.
Does it use the Australian 1 July–30 June financial year?
Yes. Note & Key supports Australia and applies the 1 July–30 June fiscal-year boundaries, so the year picker and income totals match your reporting period.
Is this tax advice?
No. Note & Key is a record-keeping and invoicing tool for totalling and exporting your teaching income. For how to lodge or what's deductible, check with your accountant or the ATO.
