When will my Statement become available?
Your statement includes all fees paid up to June 30. Banks then need to clear all payments with UWU.
- First week of July, UWU receives confirmation of your last payment from your bank.
- Second week of July, UWU sends a statement to your registered email address *
* Note: If your employer deducts your union fees from your pay, they will provide a statement directly to Australian Tax Office.
It's after July 10 - where is my statement?
If you haven't received your statement by July 10, 2025 - please consult the below:
- Are your union fees deducted by your employer, or paid directly to UWU? If your employer deducts your union fees from your pay, they will provide a statement directly to Australian Tax Office & you will not receive a statement from UWU. You will not need to download a statement to claim your deduction.
- If you pay your union fees directly to UWU via credit card or direct debit, please check your email inbox & junk mail folders. There's a chance the email with your union tax statement may have been sent to your junk mail / spam folder. Please double-check your email address(es) for your tax statement.
- Tax statement should be in your inbox, but you can't find it? There may be a slight delay due to bank processing times. Your union tax statement will appear in your MemberLink portal as soon as it's ready to go. Please register & login here.
Non-members! - If you are no longer a UWU member, you do not have access to the MemberLink Portal - please contact the Membership Team.
