I disagree about the assertion that there is a self-assessment system. There was a self-assessment system until the 1970s. You can see how it worked by looking at the tax return forms used until the 1970s. By the 1980s the tax return forms changed - in that the tables on the last page of the return were eliminated. Until the 1970s taxpayers were able to work out (assess) their tax liability by looking up their taxable income on the table on the last page of the return, and filling in the appropriate figures to go in the spaces on the last page, to arrive at a total tax due. Since the 1980s the tax return forms no longer have the ready reckoner table on the last page of the return forms. I suggest the system in Australia evolved into a self-declaration system sometime in the 1970s. By 2023, for about 30% of taxpayers, those using MyGov, the Australian tax system is no longer a self-declaration system, in that information on digital returns is mostly auto-filled.
Alternatively, in an Orwellian sense, the meaning of the expression "self assessment" has been changed by the ATO over the period since the 1970s.
