Will the QOF assist me in preparing my submission?

Do I need to pay tax on a scholarship or bursary?

This will depend on your individual circumstances. The Australian Taxation Office is the best place to find information regarding scholarships and taxation. Please visit their website at www.ato.gov.au or phone their enquiry line on 13 28 61.

The income from some scholarships may also be taken into account to calculate certain income support or other Commonwealth payments so you are also urged to seek independent advice regarding your particular situation.
