You should get the latest version of the tax calendar at the beginning of each financial year to ensure that you have the latest information for lodgments and payments.
We recommend that you print your calendars before you uninstall the old version. To uninstall, select: Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs > 'Your Small Business Tax Calendar' and Remove.
If you set reminders in Outlook using the 2008-09 Tax Calendar, don't forget to remove these reminders when you have installed the new version.
To remove reminders: install the new version, run the 'Your Small Business Tax Calendar' icon on your desktop and then select Tools > Remove Outlook reminders.
If you email your name, Australian business number (ABN) and contact details to taxcalendar@ato.gov.au, we will notify you when we make changes to the calendar.
