Quick tax returns

[melham74]

just wondering what is the quickest you have received you tax return........I have just completed both mine and DH using etax...had to ring the tax department about 5 times in the process was told generally 14 days but maybe quicker, so how quick has your come through.

About 5-10 working days for us usually, with electronic refund. Do you opt for electronic refund or cheque?
I submitted Shel's on Saturday and I expect it'll probably be in her account by Monday.

ETA: It might also depend on WHEN you submit too.... those past times we got ours we lodged about mid-September usually... I would think it'd take longer at the start (and end lol!) of tax 'season' IYKWIM...

electronic refunds

another question.....how accurate are their estimate refunds.

[Indadhanu]

For us they have been exact every time.

Our estimate has been roughly the same as what we have had returned and using the Short tax return pack and getting a cheque- the quickest I have got mine back is about 7 working days.
