Wow, I haven't received a refund for years. I have to always pay the tax man and last year it was $900. I am in my 30's without private health so the Medicare Levy does it for me plus there is nothing I can claim
This year we will be getting our family benefits and $1000 ruddy money from Dec so that is something to look forward to. I was also on half pay and months of no pay for maternity leave so maybe I will get some back this year.
For a number of years when I was young I had two jobs - and little to claim.* With two jobs, even though you pay the required tax amount - and a higher rate for the second job, I still used to end up with a tax debt which really stunk!* I had my second employer take extra tax out to avoid this.* I even wrote the the tax dept to ask if they set the levels, why do I end up with a bill?* Funny - I'm still waiting for their reply!I usually have a large deduction for donations, this year I had education expenses and my medical bills, so that was a sizable offset.* I am pretty excited to get back a larger amount for a change!
