Getting a lot back means you have overpaid during the year for some reason, if you only get a small return it means that you have had the use of that money earlier instead of giving the govt. an interest free loan.
I should be getting a decent return this year because I paid a fair bit extra into Super, plus a bit for the rebate on health insurance premiums. Unfortunately I have some money invested in EFTs and it always takes a few months for them to put together the final statements so I can’t put in my return and get the money back until that is done. I’m looking forward to the time after I retire and I can have all my investments in a nice simple tax free super fund and not have to worry about all this tax return nonsense.
I thought I’d check out the tax return forms just got fun but the ATO website is being smashed at the moment.
Anyway I can’t lodge it till I get the pre fill information uploaded by various places.
Don’t imagine I’m going to get much back this year if last year was anything to go by.
I don’t bother until the very last moment, as I normally have a tax debt.
