Hi from a noob!
I have been enjoying reading everyone's tips for money saving (I found the forum by Googling people's opinions of Aussie Farmers Direct, who we've just joined today).

I have a question - my other half is British. He's currently working for a UK company and being paid in pounds etc.
In the Spouse details bit, it wants spouse's taxable income.
Last year we argued that because he's not paying Aussie tax, he's not got what the ATO would consider a 'taxable income'? So I put $0...

This year I'm not as confident of putting $0... I don't want to get in trouble with the ATO.

(They also want spouse's separate net income, which I don't understand what is even though I clicked the link that explains it. - it says "Separate net income (SNI) includes income and other specified amounts that your dependant earned or received in 2008-09 while you maintained them.", but what does it mean by while I maintained them? Maintained who? Or what? The wording confuses me. I don't understand, wouldn't maintain mean take care of them/him/his income or something? I don't understaaaaand! He's not a dependant we're like, equal or whatever, it makes no sense!)

Sorry to barge into the forum and ask such a weird question.
