Errors on this site are corrected on the page where they occurred, with a dated note saying what changed. Corrections are stated, not buried. This page sets out what counts as an error, how corrections work, how to report one, and how often every figure is reviewed.
What counts as an error?
Three kinds of problem get the full correction treatment:
- A wrong figure. A rate, threshold or computed amount that does not match the current published source document for 2026-27.
- A wrong rule. A calculation method that departs from the published ATO schedule or Fair Work standard it claims to implement.
- A misleading framing. In particular, anything that blurs the line between what is withheld from a payment and what you actually owe for the year. On this site that distinction is treated as load-bearing, and blurring it is an error even if every number is right.
Typos and broken links are fixed without ceremony. They do not change what a page tells you, so they do not get a correction note.
How are errors corrected?
On the page, in place, with a date. The wrong content is replaced, and the page carries a note in the form: updated 12 August 2026, the ATO published the 2026-27 low-income thresholds, figures below now use them. The note stays on the page so a reader who saw the old version can see what changed and when. Because figures render from one tax engine, a corrected rate propagates to every page that uses it at the same time, and each affected page’s last-verified date is reset to the date of the check. The engine itself is described on the methodology page.
How do you report an error?
Through the contact page, which gives the email address and lists what to include: the page URL, the figure you believe is wrong, and if possible the source document you checked it against. Reports that name a source get resolved fastest, because the check is then a comparison rather than a search. Every report about a figure is checked against the primary document, and if the report is right, the page is corrected with a dated note as above.
How often is everything reviewed?
The review cycle follows the Australian financial year:
- June and July, every year. The ATO publishes its withholding schedules and rate pages for the new financial year, and Fair Work applies the Annual Wage Review from 1 July. Every rate-bearing page on the site is re-verified against the new documents, the engine constants are updated, and pages move to the new financial year. This is the heavy review, and it happened for 2026-27 in June and July 2026.
- When a source moves mid-year. Legislation, a mid-year ATO update or a delayed threshold release triggers a targeted review of the affected pages only, with dated notes where figures change.
- When a figure was carried forward. Any page using a prior-year figure because the 2026-27 one is not yet published says so on the page, and those flags are the first things checked whenever the ATO releases new material.
Who is responsible for this?
The pay and tax content is written and maintained under the byline of Marcus Kelleher, and the disclosure about that byline sits on the about page. No one involved is a registered tax agent, and nothing on the site is personal advice; the site’s claim to accuracy rests on sourcing and verification, which is why this policy exists in public rather than in a drawer.
