Generally, you have to wait until the financial year has ended before you can file your Tax Return. 

There are some circumstances in which you can file an Early Tax Return: when you leave Australia indefinitely or when you die.

In relation to leaving Australia, you will be able file a Tax Return once you have a confirmed departure date.

The cost of an Early Tax Return is $330. Your Early Tax Return must be prepared manually, on paper, and a letter has to be written to the Australian Taxation Office confirming your situation and requesting an early assessment.
