I was reminded today that this year every taxpayer will receive a TAX RECEIPT!!! https://www.ato.gov.au/Individuals/Lodging-your-tax-return/Refunds,-assessments-and-amendments/Tax-receipt/ Of course it would be fairer to also include information on how much tax was lost through negative gearing and excessive super benefits, but that's not going to rile up the masses about how they're lifting all these leaners. Wouldn't it have been nicer to do the same thing as Worldvision and give a thankyou note from a family who was able to eat that day? To be fair if the ratio follows the sample shown in the link then it will at least show that the money spent on 'Unemployed' is tiny compared to 'Families' which includes family tax benefits that most of the people who bitch about this sort of thing already get. But more than likely that nuance will be lost and I will be resisting my desire to call a complaining client a nazi.

Don't forget that if you manage to do your tax in the next few days, you'll get your return back in a week. Wait a month and you'll be waiting a month.

I'm not phenomenally against the idea of the Tax Receipt, provided it gives the whole truth. It's a really smart way to relate the country's funding back to the individual so that they can actually understand issues they aren't really willing/able to consider. Of course it's all going to go to poo poo because the Libs will be using it to lie to everybody, but it's a nice idea.

I suppose they'd still be paying GST, but that's all allocated back to the states and not concentration camps, right?

Here is a friendly tax reminder that you can claim any HECS or HELP debt the year it was incurred instead of when you make a payment. eg, you did two units at $2400 a pop in 13/14FY claim $4800 up front. Just don't claim it again when you make a payment, that is fraud you naughty person. This is obviously only useful for those of you who are working and studying and your taxable income is above such a threshold where it would make a difference.

Yeah, technically he broke no laws, but he parked in what should be a disabled spot, seems marked up as such (minus the sign, sure). The disabled parking symbol painted on the spot to his right is pretty clear, so either he has parked there and ignored the symbols (because he is a wanker), or he has realised there's nothing stopping him parking there (he is a wanker).

Yeah, looks like you can claim FEE-HELP (non-CSP) in the FY that the cost is incurred, but not HECS at all, and not FEE-HELP repayments.

The old PDF of the page I had that used to cover it never mentions about supported by the Commonwealth, which I take to mean a commonwealth supported place. Not 100% on that though. You can't claim your payments ever, just it being incurred.

Never HECS, just HELP and only incurring the debt. The CSP thing was never mentioned when I did it, they must have changed that.

So if you pay the student contributions up front and the course is necessary for your current job's professional development, you can claim that amount as tax deductible work related self-education expense? Or am I reading something wrong?

s26-20 of the 1997 Act has always disallowed any deductions for HECS-HELP or whatever dumb acronyms they have had for CSP. If you were paying FEE-HELP then though yes sure it's deductible except for the loading fee they add. You probably also have to reduce the deductible amount by $250 before you claim it, dumb quirk of the system. Or just claim it anyway and defraud this homicidal government.
