2025 has only just started, but we're actually halfway through the current financial year, which means the EOFY sales period is still to come!
The EOFY sales kick off around the start of June each year and continue right up until the new financial year begins on July 1. During this period, we typically see massive price reductions on a wide variety of items.
Best of all, items purchased during the EOFY sales can still be claimed as tax deductions for the current financial year. This, along with slashed pricing makes the month of June a fantastic time to upgrade your devices and home office.
Looking to upgrade your TV? Need a new laptop? Or maybe you're in the market for a new pair of noise cancelling headphones? EOFY is a great time to pick these items up — especially if you use these items for work.
Obviously, we're a while off from EOFY, but once the sales start, you can count on the Australian Tom's Guide team updating this page with all the best sale items that we find.
To give you an idea of the kinds of EOFY deals you can expect, here is a selection of the best discounts we spotted last year.
Best EOFY deals from last year
EOFY sales 2025: What is it and when does it take place?
In Australia, the end of financial year is June 30. Once the calendar has changed to July 1, a new financial year will have started, and individuals and business will have until October 30 to file their tax returns for the previous financial year with the Australian Taxation Office (ATO).
So where do the EOFY sales fit within all this? Good question — in the lead up to EOFY, Australia's retailers will try and move as much of the previous year's remaining stock as possible, which is why so many perfectly good items are marked down to near-clearance prices.
That not only gives Aussie consumers the chance to save big on products they've had their eye on, it also gives them one more opportunity to buy tax-deductible items for work before the financial year is up.
Typically, Australia’s EOFY sales kick off on or around June 1 and run until the end of the month on June 30. That said, some retailers will have been known to start their EOFY sales earlier by slashing their prices from the end of May. Still, it's our opinion that the best EOFY deals usually arrive in June, so don't be afraid to wait a little for a better deal to come along.
EOFY sales 2025: What to expect
Looking to save money on electronics? You're bound to find plenty of amazing deals and discounts during this year's EOFY sales.
Based on the tax-time deals we've covered in previous years, we're expecting massive savings on all kinds of tech items during EOFY 2023. That means price reductions on laptops and computers, headphones, gaming consoles and peripherals, TVs, smartphones and tablets, small and large appliances, cameras, beauty products, smart home devices and much more.
Obviously, every retailer is different. That said, we've come to expect discounts as big as 50% off on larger items during EOFY sales, and up to 70% on smaller ones like books and games.
