What is EOFY?

The financial year is a time period used for tax purposes. In Australia, the new financial year starts on July 1 and finishes on June 30, at which point, businesses close their books and begin sorting the tax time paperwork. The proceeding four months is then opened for individuals and organisations to lodge a tax return to the Australian Taxation Office (ATO website), which then determines if you receive a refund on payments made over the year.

What are EOFY sales?

Over the past 30 years, the EOFY sales period has become a tradition in Australia, much like Boxing Day and Click Frenzy. With businesses looking to finalise their sales and figures for the fiscal year, a number of retailers will heavily discount products in the lead-up to June 30. These EOFY deals apply pretty much across the board, with bargains available on smaller tech, fitness and homewares products, alongside big-ticket items such as cars and you can even score appliances online.

Despite recent cost-of-living concerns, new data has suggested that this year’s event will remain an integral sales period. A study commissioned by global e-commerce platform eBay found that almost 45 per cent of Aussies wait until sales moments like EOFY to buy non-essential items, with over 55 per cent spending half or more of their EOFY budget on fueling their passions.

The research found the most popular passions customers in Australia plan on investing in this EOFY sales period:

Upgrading the home/office (35%): The most searched furniture terms during end of financial year in 2022 were bedside tables, coffee tables and desks and this is expected to continue.
Holidays and travel (30%): Eye masks, suitcases and travel pillows topped travel searches during last year’s June sales events
Baking & cooking (25%): Air fryers, cake toppers and chocolate moulds topped cooking searches over the past two years.
Fitness and wellness (30%): For the EOFY sales period, new equipment, smart watches and apparel will prove to be a major selling point as Aussies gear up for the Summer months.
Beauty and self-care (20%): Beauty and self-care products continue to grow in popularity, following the consistent trend observed in the wake of the global pandemic. Expect to see huge savings across this category as the EOFY sales events kick off.

When Do End of Financial Sales Start?

While the official end of financial year date is June 30, some of the largest retailers in Australia, such as The Good Guys, The North Face and Michael Kors have already started their EOFY sales promotions. These EOFY deals generally run for a period of two weeks, ending in early July, however, some may finish earlier. As a result, it’s important to get your EOFY sales shopping in early.
