That's ok TT. You didn't offend me. I just wanted to point out that it works better for some than others. In an ideal world we would receive enough assistance not to have to work, but at least we do better than those in many other places in the world.
Mel, I am in the same boat as you....a hike in fees, 0% CCB, so I am hanging out for the tax rebate!
The new tax rebate system does work better for me personally, despite the hike in fees.......it means I get it back quarterly without having to wait forever for DH to get round to doing our tax returns........so from a cashflow perspective, I am better off.
Lucy, that's my problem atm - DH takes aaaaages to do his tax returns. I've done mine and am hanging for our FTB (nominated to receive at end of financial year because I have no clue how much we'll earn from year to year) but goodness knows how long it'll be before we get it, thanks to DH and his tax return procrastination!!!
Amy - tell DH if he doesn't do it soon, you might miss out on top ups!!
not sure HOW badly he procrastinates, but if your ITR isn't lodged within 2 years of end of financial year, you don't get the top ups - they just make sure you haven't been over paid (which you won't have) but won't top you up
