Tax return time in oz

[Working to fish]

Can any one let me know if a stay at home mother has to do a tax return even if they have not worked in oz (easy life) .
We are a little unsure if my other haft needs to fill one in .
Any stay at home mothers out there that have been here for a while
would love to know if you have or have not filled one in.

Thanks

It depends on what income you have.

Geeezzzz i had a pig of a time last year trying to do my return online, didnt have a clue what i was doing really only worked from the april 07 to the june 07 that counted and got $2,000 back - if anyone can advise on what to & what not to claim for that would be great (sorry eddie stealing ya thunder) but im sure even stay at home mums have to fill one in too

Eddie youll probably find if you havnt earned upto $6,000 in the financial year you wont have to do a return.We were also told if you pay an accountant to do it all for you(we did last yr was about $125) that you can claim their fee back next year on your tax return,hope this helps a bit

Yes Cal is right about claiming the tax back for an accountant, however you never get the whole lot back, download the new tax year from the ATO, it's easy enough to do on line. Good luck
