so expecting large amounts of cash

Thailand here i come.

question: i pad over 5k in tax this year with this new job, but i've got a hecs debt, will my refund go straight into paying for hecs? will i see any of the tax return?

Kind regards,

The ring master.

oh yeah i should get a min 2g's but hoping for close to 3 oh yeah new bike gear and exhaust for me

I'm expecting $500, yay!

Either getting a Tascam for recording, a new video card or maybe a cutlass.

This reminds me, I now have 3 years of returns to put in. I really better get onto it.

Ive paid about $2000 in tax, i wonder how much ill get back?

Just work it out... if you know your gross earnings, suss out your tax bracket... you will get a rough idea.

payed around $3500
worked for cash for a while and spent the money i put away for tax =(
will probably end up owing money :(

wait... you declared that you earnt cash money ?

while i was working at the ATO.. i wasn't claming the tax free threshold, when i should have, (did it on purpose) so i should be getting a large return... hopefully anyways..

I never get any tax back

I want to know how you guys can get $2k back, that's insane. I'm only going to be getting around $300-$500 :(

end of fin year for me just means a mental month for July, 7 days a week at work, 10+ hours a day in the office, good times, good times...

that was when I was in Aus :p

Now, it doesn't impact me as much although I was there until 11:30pm on Friday night preparing s*** for FYE :/

Full time student, so i dont earn much for 8 mths of the year
during the holidays I work 50+ hrs a week, clearing over 1k. paying s***loads of tax

any hot tips for getting the maximum back from the dirty govt?

yeah word to that

the best way is to keep all your recipts for everything.

some things i can claim.

60 odd cents a k between jobs so i get about 20-30 bucks a day just to drive to work even if it is just for an hour.
i can claim laundry expenses because my work has a uniform.
any work clothes boots shoes etc i can claim on tax.
plus other s*** i don't worry about till next week

any hot tips for getting the maximum back from the dirty govt?

be reallly dodgy, and then pray

haha, im going the infi route again

claim maximum everything without receipts i can

k's is like a couple of thousand on its own

i always claim 3000km fast way to get mega $$. GET RICH NOW.

yeah k's ftmfw

i think i have got 80% of my tax back for the last 5 years

Just an FYI You can claim up to 5000km using the cents per km method. You can caculate the number of business kilometres traveled with a resonable estimate, i.e no real proof.

If you have more than 5000km of business related travel you can potentially deduct even more with other methods, such as 1/3 actual expenses (including depreciation) or the 12% of original value but these require substantiation of the expenses.

just beware of raising flags because once the ATO starts looking they won't stop until you are completely ruined.

wait... you declared that you earnt cash money ?

i have an abn which my boss recorded and would have recorded down how much he payed me each week.

got my etax notification the other day, its ready for dl

cant get over how awesome etax is

last year i was even able to dl all my managed funds info straight from the funds websites, into etax

Did a quick estimate, and 3k tax, get about $1300 back. Hmmm, how to get more :)

$40k tax.

Deducting about $7k, but will probably have to pay some CGT :(

damn, like $12K tax. I want to get a grand back, new PC for me pls mr tax man

I get shafted by hecs repayments to the tune of about 130 a week. The course was f***ing useless... QUT should have paid me for turning up :)

How long does an employer have to get you your group certificate ? 2 weeks ?

pretty much. i process them in the first pay after june 30.

60 odd cents a k between jobs so i get about 20-30 bucks a day just to drive to work even if it is just for an hour.

I always thought you could only claim KMs that you drive while at work, not your daily commute to and from work.

that's correct, unless you're on call or something like that

I also believe its possible as an education expense, where you sometimes work from home, and your education will result in you getting better pay. You can claim work - study - home, or work - study - work, or home - study - work. But I'd check that one with an accountant. I know I used to via an account a few years ago.

You can also claim any expense (including mileage) incurred while doing your tax return. AFAIK

I'm under the lowest tax bracket (I think it's like $12,000).

So I get my $500 I pay in tax a year back ;) Government gets none of my money.

Well then, next time you get arrested, you can't say "I pay your wages pig!"

Dunno how you will encourage them to give you a strip search now... maybe you should show them your knife ... or your drugs ... or both

wow, u must have had some mega hecs debt orbs

I deferred all payments, and had a total HECS debt of something like $27K or so I think I was. I'm 27 now and due to my income am paying the highest compulsory repayment (8% of income I think?).

Does anyone know how much one can claim on travel expenses relating to work without having receipts?

Found out I can claim a portion of fuel expenses for work, bit late now in keeping the receipts :(.

... tax advice, medical advice, solutions to geopolitical instability, a storms coming and msn is down ....

Go talk to an accountant, cos "CHUB on QGL told me could" is not a defence.

never, EVER listen to obes - he is crazy, old and drunk

lol Obes, do you and paveway have some sort of secret crush on me or something?

nah we just think you're a tool

Well you're spending a lot of time replying to my posts.

Do I mean that much to you? Seems very suss.

On topic, I think my employer sent my certs. to my old address, is there anyway I can request new ones (incase they don't get redirected)?

Maximum of 5000kms then it's $0.xx per km depending on the size of your engine.
