Hey Babe..

Not sure about the application for the new lots of HECS.. BUT... it shouldnt effect your tax return for this year IF it was approved in the new financial year.. if it wasnt then it should already be counted in what is automatically there. If it was approved this financial year it wont be added til you do next years tax return..

The financial supplement part is a scheme the govt had where you could trade in half of your Austudy allowance and get twice as much back which you then have to pay off. i did this years ago and still havent earned enough to have to start paying it back yet.

Would you owe money coz with the contract work your doing your not paying tax out of it??? In which case can you do like a profit and los statement thing and include some of your petrol costs and things like that to offbalance your income amount???? Maybe you might need to give Uncle Bob a call
