When Are The EOFY Sales?

The EOFY sales take place during the month of June, giving Australians a final window to shop tax deductible items before lodging their 2023 tax returns between July 1 and October 31. During The Good Guys EOFY Sale 2023, and you can expect big savings across computerstablets and gamingmobile phones and audio.

Why It Makes Cents To Upgrade At EOFY

The good news is, any university student who has had tax collected from their pay is eligible for a tax return. “In fact, if you’re working casually or part time around your studies, you could be in for a nice payday at tax time,” says Katie Cunningham, a personal finance writer and presenter of the Frugal Forever podcast.

“Australian residents don't pay tax on their first $18,200 of income, so if you’re pulling in less than that, you’ll get back any tax you’ve had deducted during the year.”

Of course, you don’t need a hefty tax return to take advantage of The Good Guys End of Financial Year Sale. With big savings to be had on a range of products, it’s the best time of year to upgrade to your dream desktop computer or laptop.
