Lashie Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 Was just wondering what I could expect to see after a year of work here? What is it based on? from the money I've earned, I've been told I should get at least 2000 AUD back, which is not too bad, I just don't want to expect this and then end up really disappointed when I only get 200 AUD or so...

lebourvellec Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 You will just have to wait and see after you fill out your tax return at the end of the month. It usually tells you at the end how much to expect to get back then it is paid in to your bank account. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lashie Posted June 10, 2012 Author Share Posted June 10, 2012 And then what about when I leave at the end of September? can I file another tax back then or? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do you think you will get $2k back? Have you been overpaying tax that you are aware of? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lashie Posted June 11, 2012 Author Share Posted June 11, 2012 Why do you think you will get $2k back? Have you been overpaying tax that you are aware of? Because I've paid about 4000 in tax Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rupert Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 Because I've paid about 4000 in tax And...? If you have earned money in Australia then you would pay tax in Australia. Why do you think you have overpaid is the question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because everybody tells me that you get a high percentage of your tax back, something like 60% or more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rupert Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 Because everybody tells me that you get a high percentage of your tax back, something like 60% or more. Rubbish. You will get back any tax you overpaid, it is impossible to say how much you might have overpaid without knowing wha tyou earned, what you paid and how many months resident you were in the tax year.

StevieF8 Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 These are the Tax Brackets If you didnt earn at least $6000 but you paid tax, then you will should get it all back http://www.ato.gov.au/individuals/content.aspx?doc=/content/12333.htm Use this to work out what you will get back.... https://www.secure.taxback.com/au_freequote.asp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lebourvellec Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 And then what about when I leave at the end of September? can I file another tax back then or?I think you can only lodge them at the end of a financial year and they need to be paid in to a australian bank account (or they use to send a cheque??) - if yours has closed down by the following year you might not be able to claim. I managed to claim on my WHV, I came back the following year on 457 and manage to claim twice more. It is a good few years ago now - but I received back over $1000 each time.

rocky123 Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 well its not rubbish even if you fill in the forms and get nothing, is better then not filling in a few forms and missing out on thousands of $$$$$$ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocky123 Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 "rubbish" this is not true on a working holiday visa there are different tax/super rules and regulations and you can claim super back when you leave as well as a fair amount of tax as you are only here as a youth exchange program and long term and not a resident Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rupert Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 so did my friend, but apparently it's just 'rubbish', with no explanation. I did explain. I have commented that it is rubbish to assume you will get 60% tax back "because everyone said so" or whatever and that rather it depends upon what you earnt, what tax you paid and for how many months in the year you were resident. I have at no point suggested that you don't bother filling in the return! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
