Sorted Thanks Quickest Tax refund I've ever had!!!!! 5 Working Days!!!!

Hi Can anyone tell me We lived in Oz (Adelaide) from june 2013 -December 2013, on a 489 State sponsor visa. I want to submit a Tax return for myself and my hubby but not sure what to tick for.... Australian resident for tax purposes on the E-tax form...If I tick NO then they are saying we owe them money but if I tick YES they owe us....We were paying Tax and Supper so were we classed as a resident for this time????? Much appreciated if someone can tell me what I need to tick. Thanks in advance. Tracey

Thanks Lady Rainicorn I will give it a go!!!

Hi, OK So Oz didn't work out for us and we are back in the UK We are trying to do our first tax return from the UK and the first hurdle we have come across is registering with the MyGov site. It asks you to provide a mobile number 10 digits long & beginning with 04 so they can send you an SMS, I am assuming this is for some sort of code? But as we are back in the UK we don't have our Australian mobile numbers anymore. Has anyone come across this before and if so how did they get round it!!!! I was going to ring them but if they are anything like the UK it will cost me a fortune lol We both need to do a tax return and our situation is pretty straight forward & thought maybe we could just do it yourself!! Or if this hurdle is going to be the start of many to come can anyone give us advice on who to use (if ya aloud to on here) (We went out to Adelaide on a 489) Any Advice We Thank You in advance..

Hope your move back helps you decide whether you stay in the UK or go back to OZ..... I don't think either country is better or worse than the other just different in many aspects. once you've made that journey to OZ and come back you start to look at the good and the bad of both countries--I know I do! & this is what makes people Ping-Pong! (don't know how they afford it myself) sometimes one bite of the cherry is just not enough for people! Good Luck Helz980

The Geordie R5 would definatley b up for it!!!!!

Not sure how true this is,but I've known people turn their container round at the dock & sent it back to the UK and never paid duty on it! I've heard of items less than 12 months old u might, but lets face it how will they know if u use it a few times.... Maybe look it up again or ask on here as you may be staying longer than u need to......good luck
