I lived in NZ for a while, it was heaps better over there you don't need to do anything, they just send you a refund or bill, then if you have any other deductions you can claim those. Great for forgetful/lazy people like me.

Completely unrelated, I somehow forgot to file last year so need to do two now

Can I do that through ATO or do I need an agent?

Also have shit memory for these things (yay ADHD) so from experience yes you can do it through the ATO.
I don't remember (lol) the steps but I think you just choose which tax year you want. It's pretty easy is what I do remember!

They give you a to-do list of all the tax years you need to file.
