HelensvaleHoward Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 I know near enough from MYOB to know I have more put away than I need but will wait for my accountant to confirm No rush for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Mine is all done. Can download etax from link below, as website is nightmare https://www.ato.gov.au/misc/downloads/managed/etax2015/etax2015_1.msi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Que Sera Sera Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Got to wait for paperwork but I don't earn enough to pay tax so mines an easy one. OH will have to wait until he's home next R&R to go see his accountant. We have until the end of October though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blossom Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 I have to wait for centerlink to give me a group certificate. If it's like everything else they do there will be problems with it. :-/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MARYROSE02 Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 I can afford to be even 'slacker' using an accountant, as my deadline is later. It's odd in a way because I always do my HMRC return on line by myself, and I always use a Tax Agent to do my ATO return. His fee is tax deductable of course, and he does have his own connection into the ATO. This year, I have to add on my Royal Mail pension to my UK rent for my ATO return.

That may already be imputed also our earnings and tax deductions were also already imputed but we only have one employer and they are a large horticulture company that are right on the ball. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Collett Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 for UK rental income what are the allowed deducations ? Is it :- interest paid on the mortgage agents fees cost of any maintenance TIA Don't forget a tax deduction for depreciable items too - you might need a report from a Quantity Surveyor to quantify the deductible amount.

HappyHeart Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 I tried this morning on My Tax for husbands return, can't get on. Mine is more complex so ETax but trying to work out what else I can claim. I do mine myself. Have found accountants to be less than well informed than me on what needs to go where and the things that can be claimed. I have a taxable scholarship but can also claim self-education costs, that's the tricky bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eera Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 Never bother with mine until after Christmas; I like the cash injection in the early part of the year, plus it takes me that long to find all the receipts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marisawright Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 Unless you know you're due a nice fat refund, I always think it's better to leave it till the end of July. By that time, the banks have all made their reports to the Tax Office, which means when you open Etax, all those figures are already filled in for you.

chall5 Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 thanks Alan, are 'depreciable items' things like white goods, boiler and carpets ? wondering whether I'd spend more employing the Quantity Surveyor than I'd save in tax Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Collett Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 thanks Alan, are 'depreciable items' things like white goods, boiler and carpets ? wondering whether I'd spend more employing the Quantity Surveyor than I'd save in tax => Improbable, in my experience - particularly as the QS's fees are also tax deductible.

Guest Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Does anyone know a good accountant that does Working Holiday Visa holder tax returns? The ATO online services do not take WH visas into account and finding a certain mainstream office a bit fishy in signing their forms to claim 20% of the super + fee. Unless this is standard? I'm a bit clueless here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rossco2810 Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 We've just moved over in February this year & filling our tax returns soon. We have around $50,000 from sale of our UK house, $40,000 of which we transferred over in February and the rest we are drip feeding as the rate improves. Do we need to declare this somewhere on our return? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
