Its tax time again and undoubtably will also come accross tax tips. I have one tip:
Get your tax return in by 31 October or get it done by a tax agent (or at least get on their client list...) Then it can be lodged at practicaly anytime... another interesting statistic is that 75% of personal tax returns are lodged by tax agents (CPA).
Everything else is pretty straight forward (cant belive this has created an entire industry...) The ATO also has a new website which is a real improvement to the old teal coloured one of 95... and this one actually loads reasonably quickly and is easy to navigate. But it does require IE to download the eTax program (something to with security) just a little stupid when people are supposed to have a choice....
The tax return it self (the paper one) is a lot more "internet" style with the grey/silkscreen boxes.
