My husband and I have been separated since October however we are still living in the same house.
I have received my group certificate and jobseeker single (applied April this year). So i have gone to my gov to try to do my tax return.
However it states "do i have a spouse" and to fill out the information on him?
I am confused, we are still legally married but we are separated. What do i fill out?
Thank you :)

Large companies are still exempt from single touch payroll. As of this year (ending June 30 2022) they need to switch.
My partner got a paper certificate this year.
Even so, they were changed from being called group certificates to payment summaries a good few years ago now.
True True… ;)
Pretty sure they are called payment summaries since the GST was introduced. That was 21 years ago.
The two of you should nominate a common date of separation and stick with it. It will make life simpler for admin and you need 12 months separation for a no fault divorce (IIRC).
Although same address, you can declare as separated part year.
