Ok so the story is...

At the beginnning of the year I updated my income to show that I was now working for myself (sole trader). After talking with CL about a month ago they informed me that I had only informed one dept (or something like that) and it wasnt' the same...blah blah blah long story short they didn't know I was working, will have a debt and my money will go down. So I have to do a Profit and Loss, a Balance Statement and things like that.

So I have that all finished (I think) I went to an accountant who was crap, have since found out I can claim more than he said and he was also claiming things I shouldn't. He charged me $265 for the honour of that so i'm too scared to go back to him in case he charges more. So i'm doing it myself :/

Anyhoo my net profit for the last 6 months is down to $147.50 a week. I was told i'm allowed to earn $70 a week?? Then lose 50c in the $ after that. So for the last 6 months I should have been gettitng about $77 a fortnight less than I have been...is that right? So debt should be...about $2k is that right?

BUT...I have decided to just pack it all in I've lost some classes because I am not certified (long story but they are holding my classes for me - should be off for about 6 weeks) and if i'm pretty much working for half the price...I don't think I can be bothered At best I might just do 3 classes a week which after all my expenses means i'd prob be losing money

So If I do stop working, will CL look at the profit I earned over 6 months, over the year instead? Or would I have to pay the debt but then at the end of the year when it's averaged out get some money back?

It's so confusing, I hate this crap...just want to pack it all in

Not sure if anyone can give me advice, or if any of this makes sense...TIA and thanks for just listening!!
