hehehe - hope you didn't throw my name in as the informant!!!


and yeah, Leasha is right - very few income support payments from centrelink are non-taxable - but you're not automatically taxed on the payment. you can request to have tax deducted though (and i'd suggest if you're currently working casual, you might be well served to arrange deductions for the current financial year)

you can request to have tax deducted though

I was just coming back to say that... I think we should start a fund for BG coming and answering all our questions hehehe.

K - if you're registered with the online service on Centrelink you can go on there to get tax taken out, I *think* its under deductions or something like that (just to save waiting on hold lol).
